ABSTRACT

Urs von Balthasar is famous for his theological aesthetics which is elaborated in his masterful trilogy entitled The Glory of Lord, Theo-Drama, and Theo-Logic. This study excavates the concept of publicity implied in Theo-Drama that sees salvation history as a drama played out in the world stage. This drama is made possible through the initiation of the Trinity and the active participation of the human actor. Focusing on the public-theological contents – political theology, social ethics, and liberation theology - manifest in Theo-Drama, we investigate the socio-political roles or praxis of the church and the human actor in this world. We show that Balthasar’s drama theology is a church-centered praxis theology that stresses active participation of the church (and the human actor) in the world, and that it is also a public theology that attempts active dialogue with the social sciences with the aim to promote the public relevance of theology. This study thus intends to contribute to enriching the resources of public theology and extending its horizon.
