Hans Urs von Balthasar's works please!!!!
Would be nice to have some of his works indeed. I would be especially interested in his book where he has writings of Origen, i think it is called Spirit and Fire or something like that.

That's crazy to see this forum started here today Kris b/c I just e-mailed (from Scotland) someone in the academic dept. at Logos to request they pursue getting von Balthasar's works produced as a Libronix resource.
In terms of a bibliography to get Logos started, I would recommend the following sets in this order (published by Ignatius Press; see http://www.ignatiusinsight.com/authors/vonbalthasar.asp#hubbooks).
The Glory of the Lord: A Theological Aesthetics • Volume I: Seeing the Form• Volume II: Clerical Styles• Volume III: Lay Styles• Volume IV: The Realm of Metaphysics in Antiquity• Volume V: The Realm of Metaphysics in the Modern Age• Volume VI: Theology: The Old Covenant• Volume VII: Theology: The New CovenantTheo-Logic • Volume I: The Truth of the World• Volume II: Truth of God• Volume III: The Spirit of the TruthTheo-Drama • Volume I: Prolegomena• Volume II: Dramatis Personae• Volume III: Dramatis Personae• Volume IV: The Action• Volume V: The Last Act• Epilogue
Explorations in Theology • Explorations in Theology: Word Made Flesh, vol 1• Explorations in Theology: Spouse of the Word, vol 2• Explorations in Theology: Creator Spirit, vol 3• Explorations in Theology: Spirit and Institution, vol 4
Then these in no particular order:
• Bernanos: An Ecclessial Existence• The Christian and Anxiety• Christian Meditation• The Christian State of Life• Convergences • Cosmic Liturgy: The Universe According to Maximus the Confessor• Credo: Meditations on the Apostles' Creed• Dare We Hope "That All Men Be Saved"?• Does Jesus Know Us?• Elucidations• Engagement with God• First Glance at Adrienne Von Speyr• The Grain of Wheat: Aphorisms• Heart of the World• In the Fullness of Faith: On the Centrality of the Distinctively Catholic• The Laity in the Life of the Counsels: The Church's Mission in the World• Light of the Word: Brief Reflections on the Sunday Readings• Love Alone is Credible• Mary for Today• Mary, The Church at the Source (with Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger)• The Moment of Christian Witness• My Work• Mysterium Paschale: The Mystery of Easter• New Elucidations• The Office of Peter And the Structure of the Church• Our Task• Paul Struggles with His Congregation: The Pastoral Message of the Letters to the Corinthians• Prayer• Presence and Thought: An Essay on the Religious Philosophy of Gregory of Nyssa• Principles of Christian Morality• Razing the Bastions: On the Church in this Age• Scandal of the Incarnation: Irenaeus Against the Heresies• Short Primer for Unsettled Laymen• Test Everything: Hold Fast to What Is Good• Theology of Henri De Lubac• Theology of History• Theology of Karl Barth• The Threefold Garland• Tragedy Under Grace: Reinhold Schneider on the Experience of the West• Truth Is Symphonic: Aspects of Christian Pluralism• Two Sisters in the Spirit: Thérèse of Lisieux and Elizabeth of the Trinity• Unless You Become Like This Child• You Crown the Year With Your Goodness: Sermons Throughout the Liturgical Year• You Have Words of Eternal Life: Scripture Meditations

Yes, yes! +1 [Y]
Thanks for that great list, Travis.
excellent taste ... and Hugo Rahner, brother of Karl Rahner ... well, Karl too
Then there was Melchior, but who was the third wise man?
Hans Urs von Balthasar's works please!!!! Then there was Melchior, but who was the third wise man?
Curly Joe.
Definitely Karl Rahner. I'd snap that up in a heartbeat.
I agree! Thinking about having them on disk makes me giddy He is a brilliantly fecund mind with a penetrating eye for the majesty of God in Christ! Oh, and to have Adrienne Speyr's (sp) works too-- I may be asking for too much though
Caspar was the third. My last name is Melchior but I am not part of the Wise Men but rather, the Wise Guys! LOL
I will attempt to reply appropriately with the words of the three kings in Gian Carlo Minotti's opera Amahl and the Night Visitors, "Thank you, thank you, thank you kindly."
Gian Carlo Minotti's opera Amahl and the Night Visitors
Love that opera. Just bought the DVD this year.
In terms of a bibliography to get Logos started, I would recommend the following sets in this order
I hope that everyone who originally posted on this thread is aware that Logos now sells a Hans Urs von Balthasar Collection (16 vols.). And, yes, they did start in that order. [:)]
Oh, and to have Adrienne Speyr's (sp) works too
[Y] I've long wanted to read her, but didn't think there was much translated.
Next step: Moltmann
OK, we're making some progress on this list. We now have the Hans Urs von Balthasar Collection (16 vols.) which contains The Glory of the Lord: A Theological Aesthetics, Theo-Drama, and Theo-Logic. And Select Works of Hans Urs von Balthasar (5 vols.) which contains Explorations in Theology and Love Alone Is Credible. But there's still this long list of von Balthasar works yet to get:
I particularly would like to see Prayer soon. Need it for a class I'm taking this summer.
Finally!
