5.0

This book is so profound that I will need to reread it several times to let its insights sink in. This is one of the more accessible books by Balthasar I have read. The most striking part of the book is when he talks about our being brought to heaven by Christ in things like the sacraments. His focus on contemplation, the tensions inherent in it, and the proper focus on it is deeply theological and practical. I highly recommend this book. This actually might be the best book of Balthasar's to begin with.
