Abstract

William Desmond reflects on John Betzs Christ, the Logos of Creation, defending metaphysics as an indispensable companion to theology. He explores the interplay between Betz’s Przywarian analogy and his own metaxological philosophy, which emphasizes the dynamic betweening of being. By examining the relationship between analogy and agape, Desmond highlights a community-in-difference that respects divine transcendence while affirming the surplus generosity and porous intimacy of the God-world relation.
