Abstract

The article discusses the author's reflection, Damián Oyola Ramos, on the relationship between anguish and existential void in the work of Swiss theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar. The author divides his essay into three sections: an approach to the concept of anguish in the Bible, God's stance towards anguish, and the essence of anguish, where it is connected to existential void. The essay delves into the dense darkness of existential void that surrounds our times in search of the lights that will point the way to the clarity of God.
