Title: Not a good introduction
Product review: It seems like that most readers who try to understand Balthasar might want to have a structural grasp of his aesthetic-dramatic-logic trilogy in his own words. However, the selections are presented in traditional Catholic categories of God, Jesus, Church etc. which usually cannot easily convey the main thrust of the theologian's project. I bought this book together with Edward Oakes' <Pattern of Redemption> and I found myself spending all my time reading Oakes' intro rather than this reader. This book is a complete disappointment for me.
