Christ or Nothing

By Gil Bailie inBlog

Posted on: Aug 27, 2022

“Balthasar can already look ahead to his final conclusion: one day, non-Christian humanity will stand before the ‘yawning abyss of reason and freedom,’ first opened up by Christians…Staggered by the confrontation with this void, men will turn back for consolation to pagan antiquity, where a touch of true glory still bathed the cosmos. But when this fades, as fade it surely will, the decision will have to be made: nihilism or ‘self-surrender to the sign, in all its purity, of the glory of God’s love revealed by Christ.’” – Aidan Nichols, OP
