One sometimes wonders what relevance the speculations of theologians can have for Christians--and in particular the laity--engaged in the ordinary tasks of life. In this remarkable book we see the theological literary erudition of von Balthasar in these sermons preached over a period of several decades. The sermons are arranged according to their place in the Church's liturgical year. This selection comprises feasts of God, of Christ and of Mary.
"One can understand nothing of Christ without the mystery of the Trinity, nothing of the Church without faith in the divinity and humanity of Christ, nothing of the sacraments without the bridal mystery between Christian life without Christian faith. Thus, the present sermons revolve around the same center--the inexhaustible mystery of the one indivisible faith." - Hans Urs von Balthasar
