Analogy, Christ, and Covenant: A Conversation with John Betz

Abstract John Betz’ historical argument about Erich Przywara and the analogia entis in Christ, the Logos of Creation produces innovative constructive proposals that clarify the nature of Przywara's disagreement with Karl Barth. In light of the Przywara‐Barth debate, this essay explores a historical point of convergence and a dogmatic point of divergence to engage in a conversation about the relationship between theology and metaphysics, the role of Christology in dogmatics, and ongoing ecumenical dialogue between Roman Catholic and Protestant theologians.
