Karl Barth and the Analogia Entis Summary

Karl Barth and the Analogia Entis by Dr Keith L. Johnson (Wheaton College, IL, USA)

Many interpreters argue that Karl Barth's rejection of the Roman Catholic analogia entis was based upon a mistaken interpretation of the principle, and many scholars also contend that late in his career, Barth changed his mind about the analogia entis, either by withdrawing his rejection of it or by adopting some form of it as his own. This book challenges both views, and by doing so, it opens up new avenues for ecumenical dialogue between Protestants and Roman Catholics. In short, this book establishes that Barth did not make a mistake when he rejected the analogia entis and that he also never wavered on his critique of it; he did, however, change his response to it-not by breaking with his earlier thought, but by deepening it so that a true Christological dialogue could take place between Protestant and Roman Catholic theologians. This conclusion will be used to point the way to new terrain for ecumenical dialogue in contemporary discussions.

Karl Barth and the Analogia Entis Reviews

'Keith Johnson's study of the debate between Karl Barth and Roman Catholicism over the issue of analogia entis is first-rate historical theology. Carefully researched, balanced in judgment, and clearly written, it helps fill a gap in scholarly literature on Barth's remarkable relationship with Roman Catholic theology and opens numerous doors for future research.' - Daniel L. Migliore, Princeton Theological Seminary, Princeton, NJ, USA 'Johnson has written an excellent book, offering a lucid analysis of Barth 's lifelong engagement with the /analogia entis/, an engagement often referenced but seldom understood. In the course of this work, he carefully exposits and evaluates not only Barth's approach to the topic, but also its relation to the approaches of his key conversation partners - Przywara, Sohngen, and Balthasar. The result is at once fascinating and compelling, and establishes Johnson as a theologian of the _first order.' - Paul T Nimmo, Meldrum Lecturer in Theology, New College, University of Edinburgh, UK 'Careful historical research, a stimulating and well-defined interpretative agenda, and a willingness to venture bold, yet nuanced, theological judgments distinguish this timely and impressive book. Scholars interested in the development of Barth's thought and the difficult question of Barth's relationship to twentieth-century Roman Catholic theology will gain much from it.' -Paul Dafydd Jones, Department of Religious Studies, University of Virginia, USA
