Description

In 1949, Karl Barth confidently upholds a high doctrine of divine providence, main-taining God's control of every event in history. His argument is at once cheerful, but also defiant in the face of a Europe that is war-weary and doubtful of the full sovereignty of God.

Barth's movement to praise God shows his affin-ity for the Reformed theological tradition. While Barth often distances himself from his Calvinist predecessors in important ways, he sees his own view of providence to be a positive reworking of the Reformed position in order to maintain what he un-derstands as its most important insights: the praiseworthiness of the God of provi-dence and the doxology of the creature. Doxological Theology investigates how the theologian, in response to the praiseworthy God of the Reformed tradition, is ex-pected to pray his or her way through the doctrine of providence.

'Of the making of books about Barth's theology there appears to be no end. All credit to Christopher Green, then; for focusing on a relatively unexplored corner of Barth's thought - his doctrine of providence - and for doing it the way Barth does it, using the Lord's Prayer as an interpretive framework. This is an exceptionally close reading of Barth's christological correction of a central pillar of Reformed theology.' - Kevin J. Vanhoozer, Blanchard Professor of Theology, Wheaton College Graduate School, USA

'In this book Green offers a careful and insightful exploration of volume III/3 of Barth's /Church Dogmatics/ - one of the most important yet one of the least investigated parts of Barth's corpus. Green's exposition and analysis proceeds with both a deep sensitivity for the internal coherence of the rather diverse topics covered in III/3 and a firm awareness of the broader content and form of Barth's theology. At times creative, at times controversial, Green is always engaging: this book is destined to become a necessary conversation-point for any future work in this research area.' - Paul T. Nimmo, The University of Edinburgh, UK.
