The Göttingen Dogmatics de Karl Barth

The Göttingen Dogmatics

Karl Barth

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 sep 1991

"Representing the only larger dogmatics ever completed by Karl Barth, the Gottingen Dogmatics, a profoundly pastoral work, prefigures the unfinished Christian Dogmatics of Munster and the Church Dogmatics of Bonn and Basel. In this first volume Barth defines dogmatics as "scientific reflection on the Word of God"-the Word that is (1) spoken by God in revelation, (2) recorded in holy scripture, and (3) proclaimed and heard in Christian preaching. After his lengthy prolegomena on the threefold form of the Word of God, Barth discusses in depth the doctrine of God. His treatment of the other major doctrinal loci in his preaching-oriented dogmatics-anthropology, reconciliation, and redemption (eschatology)-will appear in Volume 2. Introduction by Daniel. L. Migliore.""

Notă biografică

Karl Barth (1886-1968), the Swiss Reformed professor and pastor, was once described by Pope Pius XII as the most important theologian since Thomas Aquinas. As principal author of "The Barmen Declaration," he was the intellectual leader of the German Confessing Church--the Protestant group that resisted the Third Reich. Barth's teaching career spanned nearly five decades. Removed from his post at Bonn by the Nazis in late 1934, Barth moved to Basel where he taught until 1962. Among Barth's many books, sermons, and essays are The Epistle to the Romans, The Humanity of God, Evangelical Theology, and Church Dogmatics.
