Erich Przywara, S.J. (18891972), is one of the important Catholic intellectuals of the twentieth century. Yet, in the Englishspeaking world Przywara remains largely unknown. Few of his sixty books or six hundred articles have been translated. In this engaging new book, Thomas OMeara offers a comprehensive study of the German Jesuit Erich Przywara and his philosophical theology.Przywaras scholarly contributions were remarkable. He was one of three theologians who introduced the writings of John Henry Cardinal Newman into Germany. From his position at the Jesuit journal in Munich, Stimmen der Zeit, he offered an open and broad Catholic perspective on the cultural, philosophical, and theological currents of his time. As one of the first Catholic intellectuals to employ the phenomenologies of Edmund Husserl and Max Scheler, he was also responsible for giving an influential, more theological interpretation of the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius Loyola.Przywara was also deeply engaged in the ideas and authors of his times. He was the first Catholic dialogue partner of Karl Barth and Paul Tillich. Edmund Husserl was counted among Przywaras friends, and Edith Stein was a close personal and intellectual friend. Through his interactions with important figures of his age and his writings, ranging from speculative systems to liturgical hymns, Przywara was of marked importance in furthering a varied dialogue between German Catholicism and modern culture.Following a foreword by Michael A. Fahey, S.J., OMeara presents a chapter on Pryzwaras life and a chronology of his writings. OMeara then discusses Pryzwaras philosophical theology, his lecturecourses at German universities on Augustine and Aquinas, his philosophy of religion, and his influence on important intellectual contemporaries. OMeara concludes with an indepth analysis of Pryzwaras theologyfocusing particularly on his Catholic views on person, liturgy, and church.
