Are the writings of Han Urs von Bathasar trustworthy?
In the right hands.

He isn’t writing for laymen, but for fellow theologians, and his work presupposes that you have a background in philosophy and theology.

His views on soteriology, and on Christ’s “descent into hell” have been controversial.

He’s not heterodox, and has been cited approvingly by Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI, but his speculations must be distinguished from what the Church actually teaches.
