520    This study develops the ethical theory implicit in the 
       writings of Hans Urs von Balthasar, a prominent twentieth-
       century Swiss Catholic theologian. Balthasar's attempt to 
       critically retrieve the concept of beauty for Christian 
       theology yields important ethical insights, culminating in
       an aesthetic and dramatic theory of ethics: one in which 
       the perception of the beauty of God's love in Christ 
       becomes a foundational experience for moral formation and 
       ongoing ethical discernment.
