Adrienne von Speyr in her book "Confession" and throughout her writings speaks of the
"confession" of Jesus Christ. This is a startling use of the term because Christ never sinned. The
author examines all the writings of von Speyr in the light of Roman Catholic soteriology and
sacramental theology and in view of the influences that existed between her and Hans Urs von
Balthasar. The author then shows how the theme of confession is central to von Speyr's writing,
aids in illuminating her theology of Holy Saturday and the Paschal Mystery, and serves as the
basis for the renewal of the sacrament of confession.
