The Gottengen Dogmatics

"Representing the only larger dogmatics ever completed by Karl Barth, the Gvttingen Dogmatics, a profoundly pastoral work, prefigures the unfinished Christian Dogmatics of M]nster and the Church Dogmatics of Bonn and Basel. In this first volume Barth defines dogmatics as "scientific reflection on the Word of God"-the Word that is (1) spoken by God in revelation, (2) recorded in holy scripture, and (3) proclaimed and heard in Christian preaching. After his lengthy prolegomena on the threefold form of the Word of God, Barth discusses in depth the doctrine of God. His treatment of the other major doctrinal loci in his preaching-oriented dogmatics-anthropology, reconciliation, and redemption (eschatology)-will appear in Volume 2. Introduction by Daniel. L. Migliore."Read less
