Produktbeschreibung
"This is a book for beginners, by a beginner..." (from the author's preface)"Karl Barth in Plain English," by Stephen D Morrison, is a clear and concise introduction to the theology of Karl Barth. Written from one amateur to another, Stephen hopes to introduce you to Barth's complex thought without all the confusing theological jargon often involved in discussions of his work. By focusing on eight major ideas central to Barth's thought, Stephen provides you with a profoundly helpful study of one of the greatest minds in modern theology. This book is the product of years of reading and studying Barth as an amateur theologian, and presents an accessible guide to Barth with the hopes of making his theology more understandable to other "amateurs." As Barth himself once said, "In the Church of Jesus Christ there can and should be no non-theologians." It is in this spirit that Stephen humbly presents, "Karl Barth in Plain English." In this book Stephen covers a wide range of subjects in Barth's thought, working from a careful reading of Barth's "Church Dogmatics," alongside his other popular books and sermons. Topics discussed include Barth's rejection of natural theology, the doctrine of revelation and the Trinity, the threefold Word of God, Barth and Biblical inerrancy, the doctrine of election, Barth and universalism, creation and the covenant, reconciliation, the Church, and theological ethics. "This book strives for simplicity without oversimplification, clarity without skimming over the details, and brevity without lacking in depth. I hope to present a fair and accessible look into Barth, because I believe his work deserves a wider audience not just among the 'professionals' but among us 'amateurs' too." (author's preface)

Autorenporträt
Stephen D Morrison (S. D. Morrison) is an American, ecumenical writer and theologian with a passion for the good news of Jesus Christ. Stephen is the author of several books on subjects such as the problem of evil, the rapture theory, and the gospel of grace. With a theologically inspired yet approachable writing style, Stephen works to proclaim the gospel ever afresh as good news of great joy.

Stephen's work will inspire you to think differently about the Christian faith, live differently as a beloved child of God, and to hope radically in the Kingdom of God.

Stephen is an amateur theologian, the self-taught student of a rigorous reading regiment with includes extensive studies in the theology of Karl Barth, Thomas F Torrance, and Jürgen Moltmann. These are his primary theological influences, with the addition of popular writers such as Robert F Capon, C Baxter Kruger, and Brennan Manning. Stephen is also deeply indebted to the early church fathers, particularly to Athanasius.
