With one foot in the world of Scripture and another in the
contemporary world, Karl Barth was both a modern and a confessional
theologian. The intersection of these two worlds makes him a
fruitful dialogue partner for thinking creatively about what it
means to be faithful to Jesus Christ today. In this collection of
essays both old and new, Kimlyn Bender explores Barth's
understanding of Christ, church and world in conversation with
American evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, Reinhard H?tter, Adolf
von Harnack, Bart Ehrman and Baptists, among others. Along the way
he also engages the theology of Friedrich Schleiermacher. Bender's
penetrating analysis of modern theology sheds light on both the
task of theology and the witness of the church.
Many of Barth's theological themes, such as revelation and
election, have received numerous scholarly examinations, whilst
Barth's doctrine of the church has been largely ignored. Yet, Barth
entitled his massive systematic theological opus the Church
Dogmatics, and the church was a central element of his thought from
first to last. This book seeks to fill a lacuna in studies of
Barth's theology, presenting the first comprehensive examination of
Karl Barth's doctrine of the church in over three decades. Kimlyn
Bender examines Barth's ecclesiological thought, from his early
theological treatises to his massive unfinished dogmatics, in light
of his interaction with both Roman Catholicism and Protestant
Liberalism. A special emphasis is placed upon Barth's mature
ecclesiology in the Church Dogmatics.

the essence of Barth's theology, emphasizing themes that speak to
the concerns of the church, the pastorate, and Christian ministry.
This book serves as a companion to the first volume of Barth's
Church Dogmatics, offering straightforward help for reading and
understanding that work in its entirety as well as developing the
skills necessary to read more of Barth's writings. Reading
schedules (for both the first volume and the complete Church
Dogmatics) and discussion questions for individuals and groups are

The Brazos Theological Commentary on the Bible advances the
assumption that the Nicene creedal tradition, in all its diversity,
provides the proper basis for the interpretation of the Bible as
Christian scripture. The series volumes, written by leading
theologians, encourage readers to explore how the vital roots of
the ancient Christian tradition inform and shape faithfulness
today. In this addition to the series, respected theologian Kimlyn
Bender offers a theological reading of 1 Corinthians. As with other
volumes in the series, this commentary is designed to serve the
church, providing a rich resource for preachers, teachers,
students, and study groups. It demonstrates the continuing
intellectual and practical viability of theological interpretation
of the Bible.
The essays in this volume examine some of the fundamental doctrinal
convictions of Martin Luther and the Reformation legacy, as well as
the maturation and development of these convictions in the theology
of Karl Barth. The broad evangelical vision that spans its various
confessional tributaries is presented in the essays of this volume.
Together these studies serve as a cumulative argument for the
ongoing coherence, meaning, and consequence of that vision, one
that at its heart is constructive and ecumenical rather than
narrowly polemical. Kimlyn J. Bender examines a variety of topics
such as the relation of Christ and the Church as understood in the
theology of Luther and Barth, the centrality of Christ to an
understanding of all the solas of the Reformation, the place and
significance of the Reformers in Barth's own thought, and Barth's
theology in conversation with distant descendants of the
Reformation often neglected, including Baptists in America,
Pietists in Europe, and Barth's own complicated relationship with
Kierkegaard. Bender concludes his discussion by presenting
constructive proposals for a Church and university "on the way" and
thus ever-reforming.

Divided into 3 parts, this handbook provides a wide-ranging survey
and analysis of the Christian Church. The first section addresses
the scriptural foundations of ecclesiology; the second section
outlines the historical and confessional aspects of the topic; and
the final part discusses a variety of contemporary and topical
themes in ecclesiology. Compiled and written by leading scholars in
the field, the T&T Clark Handbook of Ecclesiology covers a
range of key topics in the context of their development and
importance in each stream of historic Christianity and the
confessional traditions. The contributors cover traditional matters
such as creedal notes, but also tackle questions of ordination,
orders of ministry, and sacraments. This handbook is extensive
enough to provide a true overview of the field, but the essays are
also concise enough to be read as reference selections.
