"Analogy and Metaphoric Process." Theological Studies (2001) 62: 571-96.

Abstract: Argues that the dispute between Elizabeth Johnson and Joseph Bracken about the doctrine of God is rooted in a disagreement about how we know and speak of God. The difference is characterized as a choice between one view that sees theology’s task as finding appropriate analogies for conceiving God and another view governed by the assumption that a more fundamental metaphoric shift in thinking and speaking is required. It clarifies what is at issue by analyzing other conceptions of analogy in the light of a specific theory of metaphoric process.
