Book Description Paper Back. Condition: New. Von Balthasar writes this masterful essay (and, keep in mind, twenty years ago) to discern the meaning of what he calls ''Jesus-spirituality,'' the modern fascination and clamor after what moves us about Jesus, and the historical-critical barriers contemporary exegetes continue to construct for us. In his own words, ''the reflections which follow do not claim to mediate in the conflict between naive piety and scientific exegesis. But they arise from the conviction that only the Scriptures of the New Covenant, taken as witnesses of faith and in their entirety, can produce a tangible and credible portrait of Jesus Christ, whereas every critical attempt to approach him from a position other than that of the faith witnessed to in the Scriptures can only result in a pallid, distorted picture unworthy of belief (and hence devoid of interest). It is a fact: only the person who is convinced that Jesus knows him personally gains access to knowledge of him. And only the person who is confident of knowing him as he is, can know that he is also known by him.'' Divided into two reflections pursuing the title's questions, von Balthasar has fashioned another book that satisfies us in every way -- the rigor and intensity of thought, its saturation in Scripture, the beauty of the writing, the catch-in-the-throat conviction, the interconnectedness of truths, the wholeness of Truth it conveys.
