The adequacy of Karl Barth's conception of theological reasoning is
a decisive point of contention in assessments of the legacy and
potential of twentieth-century theology. Barth's work is a
formative point from which other twentieth-century figures take
their orientation; later thinkers have most often taken their leave
from his work by suggesting that it reflects an underdeveloped
conception of the activities of human reason. The regularity with
which other thinkers orient themselves in relation to Barth by
pointing to a positivism, faith subjectivism, or fideism in his
work elevates the question of theological reasoning to a decisive
point in the comprehension of twentieth-century theology. The
Ordering of the Christian Mind facilitates evaluation of Barth's
work by reconstructing his conception of the activities of reason.
It does so, first, by reframing the question. Martin Westerholm
shows that Barth's understanding of the moral structure of the
relation between God and creatures demands that the question of
theological reasoning be approached through an ethical inquiry into
the proper ordering of the activities of the mind. Secondly,
Westerholm deploys a new set of categories through which Barth's
work can be described. He shows that, by working through an account
of the noetic corollaries of faith and of the understanding of
faith, Barth develops a coherent and compelling account of the
standpoint, orientation, and freedom of theological reasoning.
Development of this material is accompanied by new accounts of
Barth's earlier theology of the resurrection, his theological
development, and the significance of his engagement with Anselm.
