Barth's Ontology of Sin and Grace

Variations on a Theme of Augustine

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Looking at issues such as original sin, universal salvation and human will, Barth is shown to be radically redefining the relationship between humans, their actions and the divine. This book argues that human 'nature' is the total determination of the human being 'from above' by God's grace in Christ.

Rezensionen

'In his characteristically clear and direct writing, Professor Shao Kai Tseng of Zhejiang University, China continues to establish himself as an important commentator on the theology of Karl Barth with this ground-breaking work discussing Barth's understanding of sin, human nature and salvation. This book helpfully explains how and why Barth understood humanity to be affected by sin and grace with an emphasis on grace as God's Yes to humanity in his Word and Spirit, but without resolving the freedom of God's love for us into a rationalistic doctrine of universalism. This book will be must reading for all who are interested in Barth's theological anthropology.' - Paul D. Molnar, Professor of Systematic Theology, St. John's University, Queens, NY, USA
