Summary/Abstract: The embodiment of God’s Word, represents for the whole theological vision of Hans Urs Balthasar, the main point and even more than that, the key of any theology. For the Swiss theologian, the humannature assuming by the divine hypostasis represents the only new thing appeared after the act of the world creation, therefore, opposed to other theologians he emphasizes even substantiates his theology on this historical and rescue act The Logos embodiment is an extremely complexphenomenon, rooted in the being above all beings, the Holy Trinity. Wecan see within the Balthasar exposal, an association and similarity withthe fourteenth century faith confessions of Saint Philotheos Kokkinosand Saint Gregory Palamas. So here’s a first attempt for the Catholictheology of approaching the top of Orthodox dogmatic teaching.
