Does all knowledge of God come through Christ alone, or can human
beings discover truths about God philosophically? The Analogy of
Being assembles essays by expert Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox
theologians to examine the relationship between divine revelation
in the person of Jesus Christ and the philosophical capacities of
natural reason. These essays were inspired by the lively,
decades-long debate between Karl Barth and Erich Przywara, which
was first sparked in 1932 when Barth wrote that the use of natural
theology in Roman Catholic thinking was the invention of the
Antichrist. The contributors to The Analogy of Being analyze and
reflect on both sides of Barth and Przywaras spirited discourse,
offering diverse responses to a controversy reaching to the very
core of Christian faith and theology. It would be difficult to
match the range and quality of commentators on this historic
exchange between a Catholic philosopher and a renowned Reformed
theologian on a subject of enduring significance, given the
centrality of analogy to any issue in philosophical theology.
Moreover, the contributions exhibit how the issues have come to
span ecclesial boundaries as their import has progressively
evolved. A splendid collection David Burrell, C.S.C. Uganda Martyrs
University A profound testimony to the enduring significance of the
analogia entis debate between Erich Przywara and Karl Barth. Hans
Boersma Regent College In a fresh ecumenical context, this
extraordinary volume rekindles the mid-twentieth-century encounter
between ressourcement thinkers and metaphysical theology. The
voices of Przywara, Barth, Balthasar, and others speak anew through
leading theologians of our own day in these masterfully
orchestrated essays. Matthew Levering University of Dayton
