Beskrivning

The essays in this volume evaluate and build on Barth’s theology from the perspective of Pentecostal theology and, thereby, contribute to constructive Pentecostal systematic theology by using Barth as a valuable dialogue partner. At present, a theological conversation of Pentecostals with Barth does not exist and this volume fills this void. More widely, it will aid all those who seek a convergence of the Word and the Spirit in theology.Barth and Pentecostals share some important common theological interests. Barth’s mature theology has a decidedly christological emphasis. Likewise, historically, Pentecostals have often spoken of a “full gospel” with an emphasis on Christ as savior, healer, baptizer (in the Spirit), and soon-and-coming King, with some Pentecostal traditions also adding a fifth emphasis on Christ the sanctifier. Furthermore, near the end of his life, Barth anticipated “the possibility of a theology of the third article, a theology where the Holy Spirit would dominate and be decisive.” The realization of Barth’s dream is no doubt coming to pass in part through the development of Pentecostal theology in as much as pneumatological theology (exploring how pneumatology affects, supplements, and might reform other doctrines) is an emerging paradigm for Pentecostal theology.

Recensioner i media

A cadre of distinguished scholars has adeptly explored the under-appreciated confluence of Karl Barth's theological legacy and the dynamic Pentecostal tradition. Each chapter, authored by a scholar and practitioner of Pentecostalism broadly conceived, delves into the potential convergences between these two very different theological approaches. This groundbreaking volume is conveniently organized around the traditional loci of theology. Nevertheless, these chapters unsurprisingly return again and again to the question of pneumatology, a question often put to Barth’s theology from other quarters. Yet their take on Barth’s problems and prospects concerning the Spirit are anything but rote, filled with surprises and worthwhile avenues for continued research and reflection. Although this is unquestionably a scholarly book, Karl Barth and Pentecostal Theology examines not only the nuanced theological dimensions but also the contemporary relevance of these discussions for faith communities. For theologians, practitioners, or observers of the evolving Christian intellectual landscape, this book is well worth reading. The editors are to be commended for filling this gap in the literature.
