This is an account, at once rigorously theological and warmly devotional, of the death and resurrection of Christ, and their significance for the Christian life. Von Balthasar offers sharp insights into some current controversies -- for example, the 'bodiliness' of the Resurrection -- and spiritual inspiration for the year round. This scholarly reflection of the climax of the Christian year is an established classic of contemporary Catholic theology.

Hans Urs von Balthasar (1905-88) was a Swiss theologian, considered to be one of the most important Catholic intellectuals and writers of the twentieth century. Incredibly prolific and diverse, he wrote over one hundred books and hundreds of articles.

Aidan Nichols, a Dominican of Blackfriars Cambridge, is surely the most prolific Catholic theologian writing in English today.  His work has covered all aspects of Catholic doctrine, and includes comprehensive accounts of the great masters of the tradition, from Maximus the Confessor to von Balthasar, not excluding such literary giants as Hopkins, Claudel, and Chesterton.  His many books on a variety of aspects of theology, liturgy and the arts, as well as on topics of ecumenical interest, are all in pursuit of a rich Catholic identity for the thought and culture of the Church. Other titles from Gracewing include Catholic Thought Since the Enlightenment, From Hermes to Benedict XVI, co-authored The Council in Question: A Dialogue with Traditional Traditionalism.  Aidan Nichols is a member of the Faculty of Divinity of theUniversity ofCambridge.
