Frederick Christian Bauerschmidt engages John Betz’s Christ, the Logos of Creation, utilizing William James’s will to believe to examine the imperatives of truth-seeking and error-avoidance. While praising Betz’s use of Przywarian analogy to achieve ecumenical reconciled diversity, Bauerschmidt cautions against transforming analogy into an all-encompassing system. He advocates for a Jamesian modesty that respects irreducible historical jolts, particularly regarding divine humility and the Incarnation, to ensure a truly Catholic theological method.
