Synopsis
Anxiety is a serious and very real problem today. What is it? Where does it come from? Is it something original to human nature? Did Jesus Christ say or do anything about it? Does the Christian Faith have a contribution to make toward understanding and alleviating anxiety? These and other similar questions are taken up in this book.
Balthasar and Anxiety is a theological study of the problem of anxiety through the lens of Hans Urs von Balthasar (1910-1988), arguably one of the greatest and most prolific Catholic theologians of the 20th Century. His treatment of anxiety, borne from his friendship with the Viennese psychiatrist Rudolf Allers and with the German psychiatrist Albert Gorres, is illuminating and provocative. But as he himself admitted, his initial thoughts required further development.
This study is a systematic presentation, analysis and development of Balthasar's original theology of anxiety found in his only work on the subject, Der Christ und die Angst. One of the great qualities of the Swiss theologian's approach to theology is the ability to engage diverse currents of thought, so this study is structured in dialogue with contemporary psychiatry and with some of the great thinkers on the problem of anxiety: Soren Kierkegaard, Sigmund Freud, George Bernanos, St. Thomas Aquinas, Martin Luther and St. Ignatius of Loyola. Cihak's study, sufficiently rigorous yet accessible to the non-specialist, orchestrates these thinkers around the phenomenon of anxiety, anxiety's origins, its redemption by Jesus Christ and its transformation in the Christian life from initial believers to the great mystics and saints. The entire study is framed by the two Gardens wherein transpire the most significant events concerning anxiety for Balthasar: the Garden of Eden and the Garden of Gethsemane.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This study offers a theological response to the problem of anxiety from the point of view of Hans Urs von Balthasar. It is a systematic presentation, analysis and development of Balthasar's original theology of anxiety found in his only work on the subject, Der Christ und die Angst. The study takes a thematic approach based upon the four types of analysis found in Der Christ und die Angst: phenomenological, anthropological, theological and ecclesial. These four approaches to the topic correspond to the phenomenon, origins, redemption and transformation of anxiety.Through this thematic approach, Balthasar's thought is examined in relation to some of the important figures on anxiety. The phenomenon of anxiety is presented in relation to modern psychiatry. The examination of anxiety's origins places him in dialogue with Kierkegaard on anxiety from discursive reasoning and Freud on anxiety from ego-consciousness. The redemption of anxiety places Balthasar in relation to Aquinas in order to clarify Balthasar's interpretation and to show its significance in the theological tradition. The transformation of anxiety places our author in dialogue with Luther on the shape of anxiety in the Christian life. The final chapter begins to unravel the construct of anxiety, with a brief exploration of how it is transformed in the Church according to Balthasar, something he had never explicitly developed. The influence of Bernanos on Balthasar's thought is felt throughout the study. The entire study is framed by the two Gardens wherein transpire the most significant events concerning anxiety for Balthasar: the Garden of Eden and the Garden of Gethsemane. Offers a theological response to the problem of anxiety from the point of view of Hans Urs von Balthasar.
