Description

The Ascension in Karl Barth by Andrew Burgess This book explores the doctrine of Jesus Christ's ascension into heaven, presenting a sustained discussion of Karl Barth's approach to this doctrine and its significance within his theology. Through examining Barth's ascension thought and engaging with other theologians, a clearer understanding of Barth and his theology is achieved. The treatment of issues related to Christ's ascension provides a broader perspective on the Protestant tradition, increasing the relevance and usefulness of this study. The author presents the doctrine of the ascension as an important and undervalued aspect of Christian theology, encouraging readers to consider how it can inform their thinking about the present age and Jesus' relationship with it. By exploring Barth's ascension thought, readers can gain insight into the work of the Holy Spirit, the church, and Christian ethics. This book offers a unique study that can help Christians think more coherently about these issues.
