Ecstatic Morality and Sexual Politics. A Catholic and Antitotalitarian Theory of the Body by G. J. McAleer (review)

above, Balthasar would not have seen his thought either in terms of an ignorance of Church teaching, or in terms of a simple rejection thereof. Rather, Balthasar's genius lies precisely in his ability to circumvent certain impasses by asking the question in a different way or by beginning with a different starting point. Indeed, he provides numerous hermeneutical keys to his thought in works such as Love Alone Is Credible. It seems strange in a book of this nature not to have looked more closely at how Balthasar sees his own work in the light of the history of Christian (or even Western) thought. Still, this book is to be recommended for engaging in the sort of high-level, re-theologized theology which Balthasar himself would have surely relished. One can only look forward to the debate that this book is sure to elicit.
