Forming moral community: Christian and ecclesial existence in the theology of Karl Barth 1915-1922
No full textThis thesis is an investigation of Karl Barth's theology in the turbulent and dynamic years of his nascent career: 1915 - 1922, with a special focus on the manner in which he construed Christian and ecclesial existence. The thesis argues that Karl Barth developed his theology with an explicit ecclesial and ethical motive, that is, he developed his theology as a deliberate attempt to shape the ethical life of the church in the context within which he lived and worked. It contends that criticisms suggesting that Barth does not have an ethics are inaccurate assessments of his work, and in fact, that although it is evident that his ethical thought continued to develop throughout his career, major trajectories of Barth's development are present in germinal form even at this early stage.
Following the lead and suggestion of John Webster, the thesis adopts a chronological and exegetical reading of Barth's work from his initial dispute with his liberal heritage circa 1915 until the publication of the second edition of his commentary on Romans. Materials examined from this period include sermons, lectures, book reviews, personal correspondence and biblical commentaries, with particular care being taken to identify the occasion and historical context within which Barth presented his thought. This reading seeks to uncover and present the development, structure, content and logic of Barth's own thought, in hope that the central concerns of this thesis will be validated. Examination of these materials has indeed shown that Barth developed his theology with an ecclesio-ethical motive.
The significance of this thesis is twofold. First, it contributes to broader understanding of Barth's theology both in its early development, and with regard to his ecclesiology and ethics. Second, it provides a significant framework and material for contemporary ecclesial reflection on its own identity and mission

The theology of revelation and the epistemology of Christian belief : the compatibility and complementarity of the theological epistemologies of Karl Barth and Alvin Plantinga
No full textThis study brings Christian theology and Christian analytic philosophy into dialogue through an examination of the compatibility and complementarity of Karl Barth’s theology of revelation, and Alvin Plantinga’s epistemology of Christian belief. The first two chapters are aimed at elucidating the central features of Karl Barth’s theology of revelation and clarifying his attitude toward the place of philosophy in theology. We establish that, for Barth, human knowledge of God is objective, personal, cognitive knowing, enabled by the Spirit’s transforming gift of participation in revelation. We dispel the notion that Barth is hostile to philosophy per se and chart the boundaries he gives for its interface with theology.
In chapters 3 and 4, we focus on Alvin Plantinga’s Christian epistemology of warranted belief, and its relationship to Barth’s theology of revelation. A general alignment emerges in their shared inductive approach and agreed rejection of the necessity and sufficiency of human arguments for warranted Christian belief. Their contributions are complementary, with Barth providing what Plantinga lacks in theological depth, and Plantinga providing what Barth lacks in philosophical clarity and defense. Despite their general compatibility, two areas of significant potential incompatibility are flagged for closer analysis in the final two chapters.
In chapter 5, we consider their views on natural theology. We extend our thesis of complementarity with respect to negative apologetics, and argue for a harmonizing interpretation of their views with respect to a potential positive contribution from natural theology. The final chapter addresses the role of faith and the constitution of a genuine human knowledge of God. We conclude that Barth and Plantinga do not disagree about the personal and propositional character of revelation, but may disagree about the possibility of a generically theistic de re knowledge of God independent of the Spirit’s gift of faith

Válság és kegyelem. Karl Barth teológiájának hatása és jelentősége ma
No full textImmár több mint 50 éve, 1968. december 10-én hunyt el Karl Barth svájci református teológus, a 20. század minden bizonnyal egyik legnagyobb
hatású, ugyanakkor legvitatottabb teológusa. Személye, életműve, hatása mind a mai napig foglalkoztatja a tudományos közéletet − nemcsak Európában, hanem szinte valamennyi kontinensen, ahol keresztyén egyház és teológiai tudományművelés létezik. Személyét már életében egyfajta legenda vette körül. Ez nem csak annak tudható
be, hogy a nemzeti szocializmussal szembeni ellenállása nagyon imponáló volt sokak számára, de ahogyan 1919-ben berobbant a teológiai közéletbe, már az is példaértékűnek számított.
Jelen kötetünk egy konferencia előadásait tartalmazza szerkesztett formában, amelyre Barth halálának 50. évfordulója alkalmával, 2018. december 11-én került sor a Doktorok Kollégiuma Rendszeres Teológiai Szekciójának, valamint a Debreceni Akadémiai Bizottság Vallástudományi és Teológiai Munkabizottságának részvételével közös rendezvény formájában

El problema del derecho natual en K. Barth y en otros juristas de la Iglesia reformada
No full textSe organiza este trabajo presentado varios reconocidos autores de la Iglesia Reformada, muy desconocidos en el pensamiento jur\ueddico espa\uf1ol, y haciendo una reconstrucci\uf3n hist\uf3rica del problema real a que ellos intentaron responder desde sus presupuestos ideol\uf3gicos: Karl Barth, Emil Brunner, Jacques Ellul, Eric Wolf.
Las preocupaciones pastorales de K. Barth le indujeron a buscar una palabra iluminadora para el orden social y la justicia humana en la Palabra de Dios. Cuando plante\uf3 este problema se refer\ueda a una fundamentaci\uf3n \ufaltima del derecho humano.
La preocupaci\uf3n directa por los temas morales y la elaboraci\uf3n de una \ue9tica espec\uedficamente calvinista ha estado olvidada durante mucho tiempo en esta tradici\uf3n hasta que K. Barth estudi\uf3 las relaciones entre la justificaci\uf3n divina y el derecho y hasta que E. Brunner hizo una neta distinci\uf3n entre el mandamiento divino y los \uf3rdenes de la creaci\uf3n
Karl Barth's academic lectures on Ephesians (Göttingen, 1921-1922) : an original translation, annotation, and analysis
No full textThis thesis consists of an original translation, annotation, and analysis of Karl Barth’s Academic lectures on Ephesians, delivered in Göttingen, winter semester, 1921-1922. The translation is composed from a typescript of Barth’s handwritten manuscript, located in the Karl Barth Archives, Basel, and is annotated for scholarly research, including complete bibliographical information on Barth’s sources.
Barth’s exposition is a detailed exegesis of the Greek text of Eph. 1:1-23, comprising 13 lectures, with a summary of Ephesians 2-6 in the final chapter. Materially and formally, the exposition strongly resembles Romans II and Barth’s 1919 sermons on Ephesians, which the study examines. It also exhibits the theological objectivity of the Göttingen period, chiefly because of Barth’s explication of gnosis in Ephesians and his appropriation of Calvin’s theology of the knowledge of God.
Barth made a material discovery in his study of Ephesians that fundamentally shaped his subsequent theology. He observes in
Eph. 1:3-14 a train of thought which witnesses to God’s action to the creature in Christ and the creature’s subsequent movement to God. He concludes that we have come from God, who has chosen us in eternal election, and we are moving toward the glory of God, our divinely appointed goal. The exposition’s central theme is expressed in Barth’s claim that “the knowledge of God is the presupposition” and “the goal” of human existence.
The distinguishing mark of Barth’s theological exegesis is its concreteness, that is, his ability to speak about the text’s contemporary meaning without lapsing into theological abstraction. This concreteness is the consequence of his theological hermeneutic. He describes the interpretive event as a field of action, consisting of the biblical text, the activity of the interpreter, and the divine speech act
