A new scholarly publication by Boston College Assistant Professor of Theology Henry Shea, S.J., proposes a deeply grounded investigation of grace and a robustly balanced impetus for advancing the gospel in the 21st century. In An Analogy of Grace (University of Notre Dame Press, 2025), Fr. Shea engages with the works of theologians Karl Rahner, Hans Urs von Balthasar, Erich Przywara, and others. From this analysis, he advances a new framework that, according to the publisher, “posits that grace is best understood as a moving Trinitarian analogy that begins in the heart and advances through the incarnate Word in the Spirit toward the whole Christ. This new analogy of grace is radically universal and inclusive while also wholly informed by the distinct form of Jesus Christ.”
