Description
Karl Barth's views on religion and revelation have had a profound impact on conservative branches of Christianity. However, his ideas have also been subject to critique from liberals.
In this study, Keith Ward offers a detailed examination of Barth's theology, challenging some of his key concepts in the process. Ward argues that world religions can be seen as a God-inspired search for spiritual truth, rather than self-centred human constructions.
Ward also defends the universality of divine grace, arguing against Barth's apparent denial of it to non-Christian religions. This book provides a nuanced exploration of the complexities of Barth's thought and its implications for Christian theology.
