Many assume that their praise of Balthasar indicates approval of his controversial theology of Holy Saturday, but this book by Lyra Pitstick shows that conclusion to be far from accurate. Pitstick looks at what John Paul II, Ratzinger, and Balthasar have in fact said regarding the creedal affirmation that Christ -descended into hell, - and she shows that there are radical differences in their views. She then addresses a number of important questions that follow from these differences. This careful, concise exploration of what three of the twentieth century's most famous Catholic theologians had to say about Christ's descent into hell provides an accessible take on a difficult point of theological debate. About the Author: Lyra Pitstick holds a Doctorate in Sacred Theology from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas, Rome. Her book Light in Darkness: Hans Urs von Balthasar and the Catholic Doctrine of Christ's Descent into Hell won a John Templeton Award for Theological Promise.
