The End of the Analogy of Being | Stephen H. Webb

The new translation of Erich Przywara’s Analogia Entis is a theological landmark that should go a long way toward clarifying the centuries-long debate about the relationship between analogy and metaphysics. Far from being a rhetorical trope or a philosophical tool, analogy for Przywara is the...

Interesting article on analogy and the Fourth Lateran Council. It's about a Bartian, Prywaza, but it's analysis of the council on analogy (the basis for the archetypal/ectypal distinction) is pretty good. Food for thought.

Incomparability and Analogy in Isaiah

The doctrine of analogy aims to answer the question of how we can speak of an infinite God who transcends creaturely reality, thought, and language. Instead of saying words apply in exactly the sam…

Are you saying Prywaza was a Barthian? I thought Prywaza was the very antithesis of Barth.

He might of been, I don't know him that well. The point was the paper's interpretation of the fourth Lateran Council on analogical knowledge. I'm trying to to give an informative thread on how "catholic" and ancient this doctrine is, that's all. Just informative. You're right though I should have read it more carefully. Honestly I could care less about Prywaza.

Analogous Predication in Gregory of Nyssa’s Contra Eunomium

Interesting blog, with direct quotations, on this church father and his use of analogical knowledge in debates over the Trinity.

It just caught me off guard. Prywaza was the 20th century's greatest defender of the analogia entis, which Barth called, sillilly I might add, Antichrist.

Fr Al is interesting. He is somewhat notorious in EO circles. I like him, though.

Really, why is Fr Al "notorious in EO circles?
Yeah I'm trying to just give information in this thread, not arguing anything. Although I've tried to stay away from websites arguing something and analysis but it can be hard, I wanted direct quotations. That particular article's interpretation shows that at least Michael Horton isn't alone in his interpretation of it (the fourth Lateran Council that is).
I have found it interesting that analogical knowledge of God, and hence language about God, was used by the Cappadocian father's to argue for their understanding of the Trinity, against certain people's errant views who I guess used univocal language. Just came across it today so I could be wrong. Just interesting.
