In this original study, Joshua Brown seeks to demonstrate the fruitfulness of Chinese philosophy for Christian theology by using Confucianism to reread, reassess, and ultimately expand the Christology of the twentiethcentury Catholic theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar. Taking up the critically important Confucian idea of xiao (filial piety), Brown argues that this concept can be used to engage anew Balthasars treatment of the doctrine of Christs filial obedience, thus leading us to new Christological insights. To this end, Brown first offers indepth studies of the early Confucian idea of xiao and of Balthasars Christology on their own terms and in their own contexts. He then proposes that Confucianism affirms certain aspects of Balthasars insights into Christs filial obedience. Brown also shows how the Confucian understanding of xiao provides reasons to criticize some of Balthasars controversial claims, such as his account of intraTrinitarian obedience. Ultimately, by rereading Balthasars Christology through the lens of xiao, Balthasar in Light of Early Confucianism employs Confucian and Balthasarian resources to push the Christological conversation forward. Students and scholars of systematic theology, theologically educated readers interested in the encounter between Christianity and Chinese culture, and comparative theologians will all want to read this exceptional book.
