The Christian confession that Jesus Christ descended into hell has
been variously misunderstood or simply neglected by the Church and
dogmatic theology. This work is a significant retort to dogmatic
forgetfulness and ecclesial misunderstanding. It succeeds in doing
so by offering a close reading and critical analysis of Karl
Barth's treatment of the descent into hell and its relation to his
extraordinary theology of the atonement. The reach of David
Lauber's work is extended by placing Barth in conversation with
Hans Urs von Balthasar's innovative theology of Holy Saturday. In
revealing and unexpected ways, this book casts light upon the
ecumenical breadth of Barth's theology. It is a valuable
interpretation of significant facets of Barth's doctrine of God,
reflection upon the passion of Jesus Christ, and ethics. In
addition, Lauber offers a constructive theological proposal for how
the descent into hell affects the theological interpretation of
Scripture, the trinitarian being and activity of God, and the
non-violent and authentic shape of Christian life and witness
before our enemies.
