Full Description
This book provides a fresh interpretation of Karl Barth's doctrine of providence in Church Dogmatics III/3, emphasizing concursus—the cooperation between divine and human action. Challenging accusations of occasionalism, it highlights Barth's christological reorientation of classical doctrine and advances a social-practical theology of concept use and norms. Through rigorous analysis, the author situates Barth within historical debates on providence, demonstrating Barth's innovative christocentric approach that avoids occasionalism. The work uniquely incorporates social-practical theory to explain how theological norms function within Christian community practices. By addressing how Barth's concepts of faith, obedience, and prayer mediate normative authority, this volume deepens readers' understanding of Barth's theology. It further provides theological and philosophical tools for recognizing and critiquing ideological distortions, offering a constructive vision of how divine providence shapes human language and practice. The book will be relevant to scholars and students of theology and philosophy of religion, particularly those focused on Karl Barth, Reformed theology, and theological method, as well as readers interested in contemporary debates on the intersection of divine action, human agency, and the formation of Christian norms.
