Theses Towards A Trinitarian Ontology

Written in 1975 as a birthday greeting to the theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar Klaus Hemmerles Theses Towards A Trinitarian Ontology is of the highest theological moment as a key source text for the recent widespread interest in the idea of a Trinitarian ontology. Drawing on Hemmerles deep familiarity with German Idealism the Theses sketch an ontology beginning not from invariance but from self-giving from kenosis and articulate a distinctively Trinitarian response to the aporias of early twenty-first-century thought-a response for which only Love can credibly be understood as the meaning of Being.
