Analogy of being, Pokemon, and Bin Laden

posted Sunday, 14 September 2003

When you google "analogy of being" and "Karl Barth," this website comes up.  Someone asks a perfectly reasonable question:  "Who knows literature or studies about the theological relations between von Balthasar and Karl Barth. Especially with the focus of 'analogia entis'?"  Then, several answers below, someone else (who is overly fond of exclamation points) starting freaking out about how the analogy of being has to do with Pokemon, New Age, and bin Laden.  What the -? 

There are some strange people out there.

Also, today on the radio I heard a song Karl Barth would surely disagree with.   "I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth.  I can see the sunset and I perceive, yeah."  No perception without revelation, right?

Speaking of songs, we sang one of my top five hymns in church.
