As one of the pillars of the nouvelle theologie movement, a main influence upon the Second Vatican Council, and one of the few figures to complete a full-scale multi-volume systematics, Hans Urs von Balthasar is undoubtedly one of the towering figures of twentieth-century theology. Until now, the structural undergirding of von Balthasar's main contribution, a weighty 15-volume, three-part "triptych" dogmatics, has not been assessed. In this volume, the author presents an analysis of von Balthasar's work in dogmatics and provides the structural linchpin for understanding the whole of this massive (and massively important) systematic theology by reconstructing the metaphysics of von Balthasar. Taking the person of Jesus Christ as the metaphysical starting point, the project highlights the fundamental connections to key doctrinal, historical, and philosophical issues. This is a critical volume for professors, scholars, and students in systematic theology, philosophical theology, and the study of twentieth-century Catholic and Protestant theology and history.
Junius Johnson is a lecturer at Yale Divinity School and a research fellow at the Rivendell Institute at Yale University. Johnson earned a Ph.D. in theology at Yale University. This volume is a revision of a dissertation completed at Yale University under the direction of Miroslav Volf.
"Crisp writing, clear thought, insightful reflection on a seminal and influential thinker's take on one of the most fundamental themes of theology - what more would you want from a book in theology? This is in fact what you get with Johnson's Christ and Analogy. Whether you are interested in von Balthasar, in theological method or in relationship between metaphysics and theology you should read this book." MiroslavVolf Yale Divinity School
