| Sumario: | Balthasar's theology of Holy Saturday, denying that Christ's sojourn among the dead was a triumphal and glorious liberation of the Old Testament's righteous, and positing instead a passive, suffering descent into the very depths of Gehenna, has long caused disquiet within certain Catholic circles. On the one hand, Balthasar is widely regarded as one of the most orthodox and traditionally minded of twentieth-century theologians; on quite the other, his notion of a suffering descent appears consciously to disregard centuries of tradition, replacing it with a modern construct of his own innovation. Pitstick's doctoral thesis thus seeks to ‘consider whether a triumphal descent by Christ or a descent to suffering is the true expression of the Catholic Faith’ (p. 2). |
