This is the final volume of this series on "theological dramatic theory" by the great 20th century theologian Balthasar. This series is the second part of Balthasar's trilogy on the good, the beautiful and the true which is his major work. The first series in the trilogy is The Glory of the Lord, and following this Theo-Drama series will be Theo-Logic. In this series "the good" has been the focus. Balthasar maintains that it is in the theater that man attempts a kind of transcendence to observe and to judge his own truth about himself. He sees the phenomenon of theater as a source of fruitfulness for theological reflection on the cosmic drama that involves earth and heaven. This fifth volume is trinitarian, focusing on the mystery of God. He draws heavily on Scripture and many passages from the works of the mystic Adrienne von Spyer. Some of the topics covered include "A Christian Eschotology," "The World is from the Trinity," "Earth moves Heavenward," "The Final Act: A Trinitarian Drama."

Theo-Logic is the third and crowning part of the great trilogy of the masterwork of theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar, following his first two parts, The Glory of the Lord and Theo-Drama. This is the third volume of Theo-Logic. Theo-Logic is a variation of theology, it being about not so much what man says about God, but what God speaks about himself. Balthasar does not address the truth about God until he first reflects on the beauty of God (The Glory of the Lord). Then he follows with his reflections on the great drama of our salvation and the goodness and mercy of the God who saves us (Theo-Drama). Now, in this work, he is ready to reflect on the truth that God reveals about himself, which is not something abstract or theoretical, but rather the concrete and mysterious richness of God's being as a personal and loving God.

The aim of systematic theology is to engage not only the head but also the heart and hands. Only recently has the church compartmentalized these aspects of life—separating the academic discipline of theology from the spiritual disciplines of faith and obedience. This multivolume work brings together rigorous historical and theological scholarship with spiritual disciplines and practical insights—characterized by a simple, accessible, comprehensive, Reformed, and experiential approach. In this volume, Joel R. Beeke and Paul M. Smalley shift from the doctrine of God (theology proper) to the doctrine of humanity (anthropology) and the doctrine of Christ (Christology). This extensive reformed theology explores the Bible's teaching about who we are and why we were created, as well as who Jesus is and why his divinity is essential to the Christian faith.

Excerpt from God and the Man, Vol. 2 of 3: A Romance And even if the worst came to the worst, she would fall upon her knees, tell the truth - part Of it, not all - no, no, not all and perhaps they might forgive her. Even if they killed her, what then She wished to die, though she lacked the courage to go ying up and falling at God's feet, a suicide. Even as she turned her face towards the farm, something stirred within her, like the quickening of another life within her own. A new horror passed through her. Then, as if she had been pursued, and ying in mortal terror, she ed away - not homeward, but across the darkened fields.

Excerpt from God and Man, Vol. 2: Lectures on Dogmatic Theology In the beginning God created man and destined that he should be united with Him in the closest bonds of life and love. Other created beings there were, destined also to serve God, but their service Sprang from the ordinate exer cise of their natural activity. Man, on the contrary, was granted a higher sphere. He was destined to abide with his Creator in the sweet communion of friend with friend, and accordingly he was to share in His divine life. God on His part, willed that man should remain entirely free in giving or withholding his love. This is the state of justice in which the first man was constituted and in which according to the divine plan, all his descendants were to be created. It is also called, in the language of theology, the state of original innocence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
