Synopsis: The Austin Dogmatics brought the theology of Karl Barth
to the United States in an accessible and forceful statement of the
most exciting theology of the day. In addition, the yearlong course
of lectures proposed a radical theology of Christian mission and
ministry to the American churches that grew from the author's three
years of working in the inner city. While at times hammering home a
single point, the lectures often flower into a passionate
homiletical style that is still captivating half a century later.
Publication of the Austin Dogmatics fills a gap in American
theological history. In 1963, the author published The Secular
Meaning of the Gospel, which the press identified with the death of
God movement. While the author denied the association, the Austin
Dogmatics explains how he moved from the strict Barthianism of his
early period to the linguistic analysis of his middle period. His
late and perhaps most important work that lay ahead was yet in
another direction entirely, making van Buren one of the most
versatile and adventuresome American theologians of the second half
of the twentieth century. The current publication includes personal
reminiscences by friends and colleagues after the author's passing.
Endorsements: "This hitherto unpublished cycle of early career
lectures makes absorbing reading for those interested in the
reception of Barth's theology as well as for those concerned with
constructive doctrinal work . . . Here we catch a glimpse of how a]
deep admiration for Barth's theological achievement inspired van
Buren] to a vigorous practical dogmatics." --John Webster,
Professor at University of Aberdeen Author Biography: Paul van
Buren was Assistant Professor of Theology at the Episcopal Seminary
of the Southwest (1957-1960) when he wrote the Austin Dogmatics and
Associate Professor there (1960-1964) when he wrote The Secular
Meaning of the Gospel. He was later Professor of Religion at Temple
University (1964-1986) when he wrote the trilogy A Theology of the
Jewish-Christian Reality. Ellen Charry is the Margaret W. Harmon
Professor of Theology at Princeton Theological Seminary. Her most
recent book is God and the Art of Happiness (2010).
