Quote by Karl Barth

This volume constitutes part of Karl Barth's Church Dogmatics, a multi-volume systematic theology that occupied much of the Swiss theologian's career from the 1930s through the 1960s. The doctrine of God section addresses fundamental theological questions concerning divine being, the perfections of God, and the relationship between divine grace and human response. Barth's approach characteristically emphasizes the sovereignty and freedom of God as revealed in Jesus Christ, while engaging critically with philosophical and theological traditions. The two-part structure allows for extended treatment of topics such as the love and freedom of God, and the knowledge of God as mediated through revelation rather than natural theology. The work reflects Barth's Reformed theological commitments and his well-known opposition to theological liberalism, representing one of the most substantial attempts at Protestant dogmatics in the twentieth century. more
