Drawing on the best English and German language scholarship to
date, this book offers a novel interpretation of Barth's mature
Christology. Examining the entirety of the Dogmatics, it provides a
nuanced analysis of Barth's treatment of the Chalcedonian
Definition, the enhypostasis/anhypostasis pairing, and various
Protestant scholastic Christological distinctions; an examination
of the co-inherence of Barth's doctrines of God and Christ, which
contributes to current debates about Barth's doctrine of election;
and a lengthy account of the Christology of Church Dogmatics IV
that foregrounds Barth's understanding of Christ's human
involvement in the drama of reconciliation. Throughout the text,
the author shows convincingly that Barth's emphasis on Christ's
divinity goes hand-in-hand with a dogmatically rich and often
startling account of Christ's humanity. The text does not confine
itself to the Church Dogmatics. It also situates Barth in the
context of the wider Christian tradition and modern western
philosophy of religion. Thus Barth is set in conversation with a
wide range of thinkers, including Anselm of Canterbury, Martin
Luther, John Calvin, Friedrich Schleiermacher, G. W. F. Hegel,
Gottfried Thomasius, and Harry Frankfurt. In addition, the text
makes a number of constructive gestures, showing a particular
interest in feminist and liberationist trajectories of thought. The
final chapter considers the standing of Barth's Christology today
and its pertinence for theological ethics and political theology.
