It’s such an honor to read a review that engages so thoughtfully with _Leaving Emmaus._

Medieval Catholics added purgatory to heaven and hell as part of the eschatological landscape. “Eastern theology, fortunately, never achieved such topographic completeness.” Ha!

When I reviewed Bulgakov’s Bride of the Lamb 21 years ago, i recall thinking that the last 200 pages were filled with gems buried in endless redundancies. Now that I’ve reread them: gems buried in endless redundancies

Fortunately state governments don’t, so far as I know, get to erase heavenly biographies. I imagine Ms Murray is laughing at the petty mortals in DC these days
“As above, so below” could be the tagline of von Balthasar’s entire theological project. Except for the snaggle he gets into about how the Trinity inverts itself in the missions.

It may turn out that anything helpful I ever say about the Trinity is a footnote to von Balthasar. I think I'm cool with that.
The preponderance of uninterpreted von Speyr quotations in von Balthasar’s work is one of the great oddities of 20th theology. In Theo-Drama V it comprises nearly 1/2 of the book

“It is just not right to look at other people’s cards” (404).
It took von Balthasar 15 volumes to get to that core ontological truth.
