Response to Reviewers of Christ, the Logos of Creation

John R. Betz responds to critics of Christ, the Logos of Creation, defending the necessity of analogical metaphysics for contemporary theology and apologetics. Drawing on Erich Przywara, he argues that the analogia entis is not a totalizing system but a "reductio in mysterium" that safeguards divine transcendence while affirming Christ as the world's Logos. Betz addresses specific concerns regarding divine humility, the act of faith, and ecclesial balance, proposing a Christological metaphysics that restores the bond between reason and revelation.

Abstract

John R. Betz responds to critics of Christ, the Logos of Creation, defending the necessity of analogical metaphysics for contemporary theology and apologetics. Drawing on Erich Przywara, he argues that the analogia entis is not a totalizing system but a "reductio in mysterium" that safeguards divine transcendence while affirming Christ as the world's Logos. Betz addresses specific concerns regarding divine humility, the act of faith, and ecclesial balance, proposing a Christological metaphysics that restores the bond between reason and revelation.
