However, many who engage with Balthasar's texts realize right away that learning what he thinks about something requires a great deal more investment than bargained for. As a result, he is often both misread and under-engaged, despite the notoriety surrounding his work. This is particularly true of his teaching on Christ's descent into hell on Holy Saturday. This book acts as an apologia for Balthasar's theology, arguing that he gives compelling and orthodox answers to questions such as: Who will be saved, and for what may believers hope? Does Christ's paschal mystery condition or transform in any way what people mean by salvation, or does what they mean by salvation condition Christ and his revelation of the Father's glory in advance? What is hell, and why and how does Christ go there? Do Thomists and universalists have better answers to these questions? This book argues that Christ's descent into hell reveals the glorious freedom of God in and as the glorious freedom of the Son, and that Balthasar uniquely sees and explains the beauty of Holy Saturday. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDaniel A.
