Unless You Become Like This Child

by Hans Urs Von Balthasar

In one of the last books written before his death, the great theologian provides a moving and profound meditation on the theme of spiritual childhood. Somewhat startlingly, von Balthasar puts forth his conviction that the central mystery of Christianity is our transformation from world-wise, self-sufficient adults” into abiding children of the Father of Jesus by the grace of their Spirit.
