Love Alone is Credible with Dr. Larry Chapp pt. 2 – “Balthasar: Beauty, Goodness, Truth” Podcast


Love Alone is Credible with Dr. Larry Chapp, Ph.D. – pt. 2

Dr. Larry Chapp, Ph.D.

With Dr. Larry Chapp Ph.D., we discuss Balthasar’s expression of the Petrine and Marian dimensions of the Church and that Marian subjectivity is the superior principle that fosters a life of interior holiness.  This is exemplified by the contemplatives who fuel the heartbeat of the Church.  This leads to a discussion on the contribution of women in the theological heart of the Church.  Adrienne von Speyr and the misrepresentation some critics place on her collaboration with Balthasar is addressed by Dr. Chapp.  He highlights the importance of Sacred Scripture in all of Balthasar’s teachings.

Balthasar: Beauty, Goodness, Truth is a series of conversations with noted theological scholars about the life and teachings of the Swiss theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar, who is considered one of the most important Catholic intellectuals and writers of the twentieth century.

From the book description:

In Hans Urs von Balthasar’s masterwork, The Glory of the Lord, the great theologian used the term “theological aesthetic” to describe what he believed to the most accurate method of interpreting the concept of divine love, as opposed to approaches founded on historical or scientific grounds. In this newly translated book, von Balthasar delves deeper into this exploration of what love means, what makes the divine love of God, and how we must become lovers of God in the footsteps of saints like Francis de Sales, John of the Cross and Therese of Lisieux.

Based in the theological aesthetic form, Love Alone is Credible brings a fresh perspective on an oft-explored subject. A deeply insightful and profound theological meditation that serves to both deepen and inform the faith of the believer.
