John Cihak arbeitet an einer Dissertation über Hans Urs von Balthasar und sein Verständnis von Angst im Leben des Christen. Auf einem Jubiläums-Symposium im Oktober 2005 gab er einen Zwischenbericht: Balthasar and Anxiety: Methodological and Phenomenological Considerations.
"In conclusion, the theme of anxiety seems a ripe one for fundamental theology, and Balthasar’s theology, I believe, can make a significant contribution. His description of the phenomenon of anxiety indicates his ability to connect with the 'other', and his theological interpretation can help orient the therapist, the philosopher and the anxious to the fullness of the One who has redeemed all anxiety. His theology perhaps shows most powerfully that by man’s insertion into Christ all anxiety can be transformed into a joyful participation in Christ’s agony in Gethsemane by which man, grown old and anxious from his exile from Eden, can become a true child of the Father."
