Tuesday, February 26: The Christ–Centered Theology of Hans Urs von Balthasar with Father Robert Imbelli
7:00 p.m. (time change), St. John Social Hall
Hans Urs von Balthasar was one of the giants of 20th century Catholic Theology. His massive production of books and articles fills a whole bookcase, and the architectural mass of his work resembles a great cathedral. But its basic lines are clear and straightforward. Fr. Imbelli’s presentation will seek to illuminate the basic patterns and perspectives of von Balthasar’s thought, mindful that for von Balthasar, theology is at the service of Christian living. He speaks of his theology as a “praying theology:” one that derives from prayer and leads to prayer. Fr. Robert Imbelli, a priest of the Archdiocese of New York, teaches theology at Boston College. He recently edited B.C.’s Church in the 21st Century’s Issue on “The Catholic Intellectual Tradition.”
