Erich Przywara on the Reformation

Summary/Abstract: The article presents Erich Przywara’s reflections on the Reformation. The first part brings Przywara’s understanding of the Reformation in his earlier works under the aspect of ‘Only God everything’, that is, the Reformation understood as ‘theopanism’. For the German theologian such an approach leads to anthropocentrism and cosmocentrism, to the abolition of God, to the identification of God with man’s ‘I’ or with the world. The second part analyzes the critique of the Reformation in Erich Przywara’s later works. It also touches on his reflections on analogy, Catholic Christology and Mariology as a response to the theological settings of Reformation. The third part presents a positive interpretation of the Reformation and the theology of Martin Luther. Przywara understands the Reformation as a corrective to Catholicism, but also as a challenge, which in ecumenical dialogue with Catholicism, understood as a dialogue of differences and contrasts, can help to renew and rejuvenate Christianity, especially in Europe.
