Linguaggio e storia. Sulla questione dell'analogia nel pensiero di E. Jüngel e di W. Pannenberg

The essay intends to analyze how the overcoming in a Christological key of the opposition between analogia entis and analogia fidei proposed by the Catholic theologian Balthasar is resumed by two protestant theologians Eberhard Jüngel and Wolfhart Pannenberg in relationship with the themes of language and history. For Jüngel, according to an hermeneutical perspective open to eschatology, only the metaphorical language of the parable allows to understand the proximity of God to man and the human correspondence to the divine word of love. Pannenberg’s proposal takes root in the barthian conception of analogia fidei which is supplemented with the doxological perspective. This one – in reference to the nexus between the proleptic aspect and eschatology – sets itself in the context of a theology as history. Finally the essay outlines, also in relationship to Przywara’s position, how the nexus similarity/dissimilarity between God and man implies the connection between God’s transcendence and the irruption of his grace under which the analogy of being could be declined in terms of an analogy of freedom.
