The problem of human freedom before God echoes through the
conflicts of western theology since Augustine and Pelagius and has
posed an acute question to theologians for the past 200 years. Karl
Barth, perhaps the greatest Protestant theologian of the twentieth
century, faced not only the question of autonomy but also the
theological answers that liberals had attempted to provide to it.
His dissatisfaction with their answers led him to start a
theological counter-revolution, which was thought to adopt a
negative answer to the question of autonomy. In this careful study
Fater Macken shows that a major re-interpretation of Barth's
thought in this regard took place since 1968, and that - far from
being an opponent of human freedom in relation to God - Barth is
now thought to have proposed a positive account of human autonomy
as his theology developed. Dr Macken demonstrates that Barth was
neither fundamentalist nor conservative, but a creative and
original thinker. This notable book, written by a Roman Catholic
theologian, provides a comprehensive and useful guide to the 'new
wave' of German Barth interpretation.
