Description: "Given that metaphysics seems to be making a comeback in American Protestant theology, Keith Johnson's fine study of the debate between Karl Barth and Roman Catholic theologians with respect to the so-called "analogy of being" could not be more timely. The verdict of the last generation on this debate was that it rested on a misunderstanding on Barth's side. Johnson gives us ample reason to question this verdict - and even more reason to take Barth's criticisms seriously. This is ecumenical theology at its best - sober and penetrating but unfailingly courteous. This book will be much-discussed."--Publishers website.
Notes: "This project started out as a dissertation ... at Princeton Theological Seminary"--Acknowledgements.
