Produktbeschreibung
Karl Barth is the foremost theologian of the twentieth century, some would say since Thomas Aquinas. Our understanding of Jesus- our Christology- is crucial to Christian faith. It is the touchstone by which everything else stands or falls, and it is at the centre of the present-day theological debate. In this study, Professor Thompson brings the two together. He seeks to understand Barth on Christ. In his words, 'to let Barth be heard on a central (indeed the central) theme of his theology'. It is the first comprehensive treatment of its kind and one which proves to be very relevant for our discussions about Jesus today. John Thompson hails from Bushmills, Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland. He studied at the universities of Dublin, Belfast, Edinburgh, Basle and Tiibingen. For many years a parish minister, he commenced lecturing in the University of Dublin in the early sixties and thence moved to a post in the Presbyterian College, Belfast in 1970. He has since become its Professor of Systematic Theology.
Autorenporträt
John was born in Yorkshire, UK, in 1954 and is married with two grown up children. His father was in the RAF and some of his childhood was spent in Africa, Singapore, Germany and Malaysia which ignited his love of travel. He trained and worked as an illustrator but working in isolation did not suit his personality, so he became involved in art and design education, spending two years as a lecturer at Yarmouk University in Jordan followed by other educational posts in the UK. He is currently the artist in residence for the National Trust at Nymans Gardens where he has been since 2012. John continues to travel abroad with his family enjoying the different cultures, physical geography and natural history of the planet which has inspired him to write.
