How, Von Balthasar asks, will the theologian be able to work at the task of bringing to birth and nurture a theology that will be reclaimed by a new humanity in the twentieth century? The true calling of the theologian is to draw on tradition to speak in a new yet faithful way to the modern context. In this spirit, Von Balthasar has undertaken a series of studies of the Greek Fathers. This first volume examines the work of Gregory of Nyssa, including 'The Philosophy of Becoming and Desire,' 'The Philosophy of Image' and 'The Philosophy of Love.'
