Word and Silence: Hans Urs Von Balthasar and the Spiritual Encounter Between East and West - Tapa dura

'This is an important contribution to an urgent issue confronting the contemporary Church. Von Balthasar identifies Buddhism as one of the great challenges facing Chrisitianity today. Gawronski's book is a stimulating exercise in Catholic apologetics which offers a provocative response to this challenge.' Tina Beattie, Epworth Review'This is a good book, well researched and easily read.' Tom Dalzell, Irish Theological Quarterly'What one of the greatest theologians of our century - Hans Urs von Balthasar - says about one of the most important issues of our time. What the world's religions mean for one another as pluralism intensifies their interaction. No other study comes close to the depth with which Word and Silence addresses that subject.' Professor Huston Smith, University of California, Berkeley

Fr Gawronski's monumental and highly readable study presents a synthesis of Balthasar's work in this field, of great importance to all those concerned with inter-faith dialogue: the encouter of Christianity with Asia.
