  abstract: A Generous Symphony offers an appraisal of Balthasar's literary achievement and explicates his literary criticism as a distinctive theology of revelation. This book examines the important question of how students of literature, like Balthasar, can be transformed into theologians by attending to the implicit presence of Christ in all things.
