Ebook: The analogy of faith: the quest for God's speakability

For centuries philosophers and theologians have asked how it is possible to talk about God. The shared answer to this question goes by the name of "analogy," which recognizes both similarity and difference between the divine being and human language. In The Analogy of Faith: The Quest for God's Speakability, Archie Spencer examines the problem of analogy in its ancient, medieval and modern forms. He argues for a Christological analogy of faith, in conversation with Karl Barth and Eberhard Jungel, as the way forward for theology.;The classical Christian roots of the problem of analogy -- Thomas Aquinas and the medieval appropriation of analogy -- Analogy in Karl Barth's church dogmatics -- Eberhard Jüngel : appropriating the analogy of faith as analogy of advent -- The Christological content of theology as analogia fidei.
