This book examines the role of the New Testament concept of the
'principalities and powers' in the thought of Karl Barth and John
Howard Yoder, showing how this biblical concept of power is central
to the fundamental theological convictions of each thinker. Prather
offers a scholarly account of the underexplored theological and
ethical import of a major biblical theme and the book addresses
questions and concerns from a wide range of academic and lay
theological interest. He brings Barth and Yoder into dialogue here
and examines the three crucial areas: the 'confessional'
distinction of church and world; the demonization of political
power; and the intrinsic relation between the political and
economic powers. While other theologians have rightly identified a
'christocentric' connection between the thought of Barth and Yoder,
no attempt has been made to bring them together through the
sustained analysis of a single doctrinal or ethical issue - this
book does just that.
