"St. Paul would say to the philosophers that God created man so that he would seek the Divine, try to attain the Divine. That is why all pre-Christian philosophy is theological at its summit."

"Religions do a useful thing: they narrow God to the limits of man. Philosophy replies by doing a necessary thing: it elevates man to the plane of God."

"God, our genes, our environment, or some stupid programmer keying in code at an ancient terminal - there's no way free will can ever exist if we as individuals are the result of some external cause."

Hans Urs von Balthasar
"The One, the Good, the True, and the Beautiful, these are what we call the transcendental attributes of Being, because they surpass all the limits of essences and are coextensive with Being."

Being

Quote_1.png
Hans Urs von Balthasar
"Whoever removes the Cross and its interpretation by the New Testament from the center, in order to replace it, for example, with the social commitment of Jesus to the oppressed as a new center, no longer stands in continuity with the apostolic faith."

Faith

Quote_1.png
Hans Urs von Balthasar
"The work with which we embark on this first volume of a series of theological studies is a work with which the philosophical person does not begin, but rather concludes."

Work

Quote_1.png
Hans Urs von Balthasar
"Beauty is the disinterested one, without which the ancient world refused to understand itself, a word which both imperceptibly and yet unmistakably has bid farewell to our new world, a world of interests, leaving it to its own avarice and sadness."

Beauty

Quote_1.png
Hans Urs von Balthasar
"But the issue is not only life and death but our existence before God and our being judged by him. All of us were sinners before him and worthy of condemnation."

Death

Quote_1.png
Hans Urs von Balthasar
"Even if a unity of faith is not possible, a unity of love is."

Faith

Quote_1.png
Hans Urs von Balthasar
"Without a doubt, at the center of the New Testament there stands the Cross, which receives its interpretation from the Resurrection."

Doubt

Quote_1.png
Hans Urs von Balthasar
"If God wishes to reveal the love that he harbors for the world, this love has to be something that the world can recognize, in spite of, or in fact in, its being wholly other."

Love

Quote_1.png
Hans Urs von Balthasar
"Not longer loved or fostered by religion, beauty is lifted from its face as a mask, and its absence exposes features on that face which threaten to become incomprehensible to man."

Beauty

Quote_1.png
Hans Urs von Balthasar
"To be sure, the response of faith to revelation, which God grants to the creature he chooses and moves with his love, occurs in such a way that it is truly the creature that provides the response, with its own nature and its natural powers of love."
