Romano Guardini: Reform from the Source, written by another great theological mind, Hans urs von Balthasar, presents a kind of ಜroadmapಝ to Guardiniಙs thought. As an introduction to Guardini, von Balthasarಙs study is intended to challenge readers to take up Guardiniಙs own writings and to find in him the wisdom that has inspired so many others. Many of Guardiniಙs influential works are still in print today, works that cover a wide range of important spiritual, theological and moral issues.
ಜRomano Guardini was one of the most important interpreters of the modern Catholic experience, someone we need to engage again and again. This winsome precis by Hans Urs von Balthasar provides an ideal place to begin.ಝ
