At a little café, just in front of the Pantheon, I sat down recently with Dr. Scott Hahn, the great biblical theologian. What an intellectual whirlwind he is. Among other topics, we talked about the nature-grace relationship, the importance of the analogy of being, the link between analogy and covenant, creation as a primordial covenant between God and the finite world, Joseph Ratzinger’s sense of the rapport between the Old Testament and the New, the contribution of the DeLubac/Ratzinger/Congar generation to theology and the need for a similar “school” of theology today to integrate participation metaphysics, scripture, and doctrine! Talking to Scott Hahn is like taking a deep drink from an intoxicating and refreshing cup. I always feel more alive, more connected, more curious after I speak with him...
