Supporting this interpretation are considerations of the world behind the text (the reforming Dionysianism abroad in Ignatian Paris), the world of the text (the culminating position and concerns of the “hierarchical Church”), and the world in front of the text (its reception by Peter Faber and Jerome Nadal). Interpreted against a Dionysian backdrop, Ignatius’s hierarchical church becomes a charter for ecclesial mysticism.

In this article, Joseph Ratzinger's theological method is examined as a means of "tinkering" with theological theories of revelation and a scientific worldview, allowing each to influence each other to find a synthesis that can resolve the disjunction between rational consistency and faith.

The standard bearers of the nouvelle théologie hold that Aquinas teaches a natural desire for the beatific vision and deny, more generally, the utility of the concept of pure nature for safeguarding the gratuity of the supernatural. Przywara, by contrast, holds that Aquinas, like the Christian tradition more broadly, alternates between theoretical lines of sight, with the result that the capacity for the beatific vision appears to lie, by turns, both in and beyond human nature. This apparent difference of position is what this article calls the "parallax" effect. According to Przywara, one attains the least inadequate view of nature and grace by entering the "rhythm" of mutual correction between various perspectives. Though he refines his articulation of this rhythm across the course of his career, Przywara consistently upholds the concept of pure nature as a legitimate theological Konstruktionsprinzip and salutary corrective to "intrinsicist" accents. The complete picture of nature and grace thus lies in the interplay of the various ecclesially approved theological traditions.
