Re-Thinking The Re-Thinking of Origen: The Spirit of Hans Urs Von Balthasar’s Theodramatic Hermeneutics☆ [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
This article explores Hans Urs von Balthasar’s procedure for retrieving—even reperforming—the “spirit” of the patristics in general and of Origen in particular within the context of a primarily aesthetic approach to the theology of history. It suggests—borrowing categories from Origen’s tripartite scheme of interpreting the scriptures—that Balthasar’s creative reception of Origen is reducible neither to transmitting the content of specific texts or ideas (“body”) nor a pragmatic, intellectual, or moral adoption of his philosophical or theological method (“soul”) but rather is an aesthetic, dramatic re-performance or mimetic inhabiting of Origen’s “spirit” through modes of contemplative biblical exegesis which are spiritually and existentially transformative.
