Ashley Cocksworth presents Karl Barth as a theologian who not only
produces a strong and vibrant theology of prayer, but also grounds
theology itself in the practice of prayer. Prayer and theology are
revealed to be integrally related in Barth's understanding of the
dogmatic task. Cocksworth provides careful analysis of a range of
key texts in Barth's thought in which the theme of prayer emerges
with particular interest. He analyzes: Barth's writings on the
Sabbath and uncovers an unexpected theology of contemplative
prayer; the doctrine of creation of the Church Dogmatics and
explores its prioritization of petitionary prayer; and the ethics
of the doctrine of reconciliation in which a 'turn to invocation'
is charted and the final 'resting place' of Barth's theology of
prayer is found. Through the theme of prayer fundamental questions
are asked about the relation of human agency to divine agency as
conceived by Barth, and new insights are offered into his
understandings of the nature and task of theology, pneumatology,
sin, baptism, religion, and sanctification. The result is a rich
engagement with Barth's theology of prayer, an advancement of
scholarship on Karl Barth, and a constructive contribution to the
theology of prayer.
There are few things more joyous in a congregation than the
presentation of a new baby or small child for baptism. But even
lifelong Christians can lack an understanding of the theology and
terminology surrounding baptism. The Baptism of Your Child answers
common questions new parents and new members with small children
may have about having their children baptized, and it includes
prayers and ideas for helping children grow in their faith.
