"In this year, I wrote this book. Then later I wrote this one. Then, after that, I wrote this one. Karl Rahner is more a journalist than he is a serious thinker. The following year, I wrote this book." Repeat three times, and you have this book.

A lot of people have given this good ratings, and I'm glad they got something out of it, but as far as I can see it's just poorly written, uninformative self-congratulation. I don't begrudge the self-congratulation; Balthasar had a lot to congratulate himself for. Its the lack of information and the turgid prose that I can't handle. Really only the last piece, written in 1988, even suggests something about the detailed contents of the books. ( )
