What does Hans Urs von Balthasar mean by “theological style”, and what can we learn if we begin to think about Balthasar's own oeuvre in relation to this concept of style? In this rich and lucid study, Chris Myers not only turns the spotlight on an under-examined element in the Glory of the Lord, but also develops a fresh and fascinating lens through which to explore Balthasar's work more broadly.

Many and varied are the positions on Balthasar's theological method. This important volume sheds helpful light on an under-appreciated aspect of his method: the notion of style. In the most thorough investigation of Balthasar's notion of theological style to date, Myers details how Balthasar uses this notion to uncover the charism of thinkers and unearth the heart of their theological vision. The clarity this brings is helpful not only in interpreting Balathasar's readings of others, but also in interpreting the man himself.
