Book Description
The theology of Karl Barth has often been a productive dialogue partner for evangelical theology, but for too long the dialogue has been dominated by questions of orthodoxy. Karl Barth and the Future of Evangelical Theology contributes to the conversation through a creative reconfiguration of both partners in the conversation, neither of whom can be rightly understood as preservers of Protestant orthodoxy. Rather, American evangelicalism is identified with the revivalist forms of Protestantism that arose in the post-Reformation era, while Barth is revisited as a theologian attuned both to divine and human agency. In the ensuing conversation, questions of orthodoxy are not eliminated but subordinated to a concern for the life of God and God's people. By offering an alternative to the dominant constraints, this book opens up new avenues for fruitful conversation on Barth and the future of evangelical theology.

Pages : 301
Book Description
The theology of Karl Barth has been a productive dialogue partner for evangelical theology. For too long, however, the dialogue has been dominated by questions of orthodoxy. The present volume seeks to contribute to the conversation through a creative reconfiguration of both partners in the conversation, neither of whom can be rightly understood as preservers of Protestant Orthodoxy. Rather, American evangelicalism is identified with the revivalist forms of Protestantism that arose in the post-Reformation era, while Barth is revisited as a theologian attuned both to divine and human agency. In the ensuing conversation questions of orthodoxy are not eliminated, but subordinated to a concern for the life of God and God's people. This volume brings together seasoned Barth scholars, evangelical theologians, and some younger voices, united by a common desire to rethink both Karl Barth and evangelical theology. By offering an alternative to the dominant constraints, the book opens up new avenues for fruitful conversation on Barth and the future of evangelical theology.

After Fundamentalism
Author: Bernard Lawrence Ramm
Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
The Enlightenment of the eighteenth century brought into existence modern learning and modern attitudes; at the same time, it created the most serious challenge to Christianity since the early days of the Church. Liberal Christianity was created to formulate a way of living with the aftermath of the Enlightenment, but made the fateful mistake of surrendering the substance of Christianity as historically understood. At the same time, orthodoxy, evangelicalism, and fundamentalism have struggled to respond properly to the Enlightenment. Now Bernard Ramm's groundbreaking After Fundamentalism offers a way of doing theology -- using Karl Barth's methodology as a model -- that allows a Christian to both be a child of the Enlightenment and maintain the historic substance of Christianity. After Fundamentalism reconciles the great gains of the Enlightenment with authentic Christianity to show how a Christian can -- without compromising his or her beliefs -- live fully as a modern person in the modern world. --

Preaching in Hitler's Shadow
Author: Dean G. Stroud
Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
ISBN: 0802869025
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
What did German preachers opposed to Hitler say in their Sunday sermons? When the truth of Christ could cost a pastor his life, what words encouraged and challenged him and his congregation? This book answers those questions. Preaching in Hitler's Shadow begins with a fascinating look at Christian life inside the Third Reich, giving readers a real sense of the danger that pastors faced every time they went into the pulpit. Dean Stroud pays special attention to the role that language played in the battle over the German soul, pointing out the use of Christian language in opposition to Nazi rhetoric. The second part of the book presents thirteen well-translated sermons by various select preachers, including Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Karl Barth, Rudolf Bultmann, and others not as well known but no less courageous. A running commentary offers cultural and historical insights, and each sermon is preceded by a short biography of the preacher.

Evangelical Theology
Author: Michael F. Bird
Publisher: Zondervan Academic
ISBN: 0310494427
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 1067
Book Description
Evangelical Theology is a systematic theology written from the perspective of a biblical scholar. Michael F. Bird contends that the center, unity, and boundary of the evangelical faith is the evangel (= gospel), as opposed to things like justification by faith or inerrancy. The evangel is the unifying thread in evangelical theology and the theological hermeneutic through which the various loci of theology need to be understood. Using the gospel as a theological leitmotif—an approach to Christian doctrine that begins with the gospel and sees each loci through the lens of the gospel—this text presents an authentically evangelical theology, as opposed to an ordinary systematic theology written by an evangelical theologian. According to the author, theology is the drama of gospelizing—performing and living out the gospel in the theatre of Christian life. The text features tables, sidebars, and questions for discussion. The end of every part includes a “What to Take Home” section that gives students a run-down on what they need to know. And since reading theology can often be dry and cerebral, the author applies his unique sense of humor in occasional “Comic Belief” sections so that students may enjoy their learning experience through some theological humor added for good measure.
