Ethics
This rare volume provides a concise statement of the major ideas of one of the greatest Protestant thinkers of the twentieth century, Karl Barth. Divided into three parts, it presents Barth's lecture about "The Holy Spirit and the Christian Life." Discussion begins with the unity of the persons of the Trinity-one of the things that God chooses to reveal to us-and the implications this unity has for human conduct. This volume emphasizes Barth's focus on the Trinitarian character of God's self-revelation. Barth insists there is no way to get behind or beyond the fact that God is revealed to us in three distinct ways, yet with a unity that cannot be divided. He claims that we can finally look only to God's self-disclosure as the reliable basis for Christian ethics. |
