Karl Barth's Critically Realistic Dialectical Theology

`McCormack is master of this voluminous material. He is scrupulously at home in the intricate, dramatic background of Swiss socialist politics ...The result is a masterly study, often as compelling as its theme.' George Steiner, Times Literary Supplement `This meticulous and definitive study ... supersedes most previous interpretations.' Colin Gunton, Theological Book Review `it should quickly attain classic status. It is an exceptionally fine and erudite piece of work....The results of this painstaking attention to detail are truly ground-breaking. This is a major intellectual achievement, an interpretative act of great courage, and Barth studies will never look the same.' Graham Ward, Expo...

Our Concern with the Theology of Crisis

"The lectures--and this book--are intended only for those who are inclined to feel a 'concern' for the present crisis of Society and of the Church. The aim is missed if the hearer or reader retains the aloof attitude of a spectator, and does not come to realize that the crisis is his personal concern, the crisis of the individual." --From the preface

Dialectical Theologians

Karl Barths und Rudolf Bultmanns Theologien sind in ihrer Nähe und Distanz als eigenständige Weiterführungen der Theologie Wilhelm Herrmanns zu deuten - das ist die These dieses Buches. Es gibt keinen 'vor-dialektischen' Barth oder Bultmann, sondern verschiedene Phasen ihrer dialektischen Theologie. Als Schüler Herrmanns waren sie von Anfang an dialektische Theologen, nämlich Theologen in der Spannung von Gesetz und Evangelium, in der Dialektik des Deus absconditus et revelatus, des Gerichts und der Gnade Gottes. Deswegen konnte Bultmann um 1922 in die Nähe der neuen theologischen Bewegung kommen. Aber weil die Dialektik Barths eine Umwandlung der Theologie Herrmanns war, konnte Bultma...

The Mission of Demythologizing

Rudolf Bultmann's controversial program of demythologizing has been the subject of constant debate since it was first announced in 1941. It is widely held that this program indicates Bultmann's departure from the dialectical theology he once shared with Karl Barth. In the 1950s, Barth thus referred to their relationship as that of a whale and an elephant: incapable of meaningful communication. This study proposes a contrary reading of demythologizing as the hermeneutical fulfillment of dialectical theology on the basis of a reinterpretation of Barth's theological project.

A Theology of Preaching and Dialectic

How does the preacher know what God might say now based upon the many things God said then? Preachers and theologians throughout Christian history have grappled with Scripture's diverse emphases alongside the urgent task of declaring the authoritative Word of God in the contemporary pulpit. Aaron Edwards offers a new way of engaging with this problem, by exploring the theological relationship between biblical dialectics and heraldic proclamation. Edwards highlights the theological necessity of dialectical variety, without forfeiting assertiveness in the prophetic moment of preaching. A vast array of key voices from the theological tradition are drawn upon - including Augustine, Aquinas, Eckh...

Dialectical Theology and Jacques Ellul

Jacob E. Van Vleet argues that the work of Jacques Ellul is frequently misread on account of inattention to the theological underpinning that governs Ellul’s thought. In a penetrating analysis, the first of its kind, Van Vleet provides a substantive account of the theological structure of Ellul’s work and demonstrates the determinative role that theology plays in a proper understanding of Ellul. The book offers a major introduction to Ellul’s thought, his contribution to theology and philosophy, and how his philosophy of technology is both theologically informed and culturally relevant.

The Swiss Reformed Theologian Emil Brunner was one of the key figures in the early 20th century theological movement of Dialectical Theology. In this monograph David Gilland offers an account of Bruner's earlier theology in relation to one of the central themes of the Protestant Reformation: Law and Gospel.He examines Brunner's early relationship with fellow Swiss Reformed theologian, Karl Barth and provides a detailed reading of a variety of Brunner's essays from the early to mid-1920s, centering on Brunner's efforts to use the law-gospel relationship to establish a basis for Christian theology. After analyzing the influence this has on Brunner's theological method, Gilland examines Brunner's earliest text on Christology, The Mediator (1927). In light of the preceding analysis, the fourth chapter provides a careful reading of Brunner's controversial polemic against Karl Barth, Nature and Grace (1934).The monograph concludes with reflections on Brunner's earlier theological work and his turbulent relationship with Karl Barth.

Dialectic in Karl Barth's Doctrine of God

Early in his theological development, the Swiss theologian, Karl Barth, used a philosophical method called dialectic to organize his theological framework. In recent years, rather intense discussion has arisen over the source of Barth's dialectic and whether it remained in effect during the later period of the writing of Church Dogmatics or it diminished in importance under the new rubric of analogy. Terry L. Cross examines the sources of Barth's dialectic and investigates how it continues to operate alongside analogy within Barth's doctrine of God in Church Dogmatics. The conclusion is that Barth's doctrine of God will not work without his special dialectic and analogy - a dialectica fidei as well as an analogia fidei.
