 | A Trinitarian Anthropology: Adrienne von Speyr & Hans Urs von Balthasar in Dialogue with Thomas Aquinas Subjects: Speyr Adrienne von; Balthasar Hans Urs von 1905–1988; Thomas Aquinas Saint 1225?–1274; Trinity -- History of doctrines; Catholic Church -- Doctrines; In this magisterial work, Michele M. Schumacher seeks to promote dialogue between disciples of the Swiss theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar (d. 1988) and those of the church's common doctor, St. Thomas Aquinas (d. 1274) on a critical theological question. How are analogies and metaphors from the philosophy and theology of the person (anthropology) rightly used to address the mystery of the Trinity? She does so by considering the specific setting of Balthasar's theology: the inseparability of his work from that of the Swiss physician and mystic Adrienne von Speyr (d. 1967). Michele M. Schumacher is a private docent in the theology faculty of the University of Fribourg, Switzerland |
