Among the studies of Karl Barth's thought, no other work covers, as this one does, the areas of political, doctrinal, and ecumenical theology in single compass. Written by a leading Barth scholar, Disruptive Grace provides scholars, teachers, and students with a discussion of topics vital for a full understanding of the great Swiss pastor and theologian.
Part 1 relates Barth to contemporary issues of social justice, war, and peace. Part 2 covers christology, pneumatology, the Trinity, scriptural interpretation, and the question of universal salvation. Part 3 discusses the Reformed tradition as Barth understood it in relation to Roman Catholicism, Lutheranism, modern liberalism, evangelical consevatism, and the postliberal theology of the contemporary Yale school. The book concludes with a meditation on the saving significance of Jesus' death, a theme that runs throughout the book.
