Barth's Ontology of Sin and Grace: Variations on a Theme of Augustine by Shao Ka

Description: Barth's Ontology of Sin and Grace by Shao Kai Tseng Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Looking at issues such as original sin, universal salvation and human will, Barth is shown to be radically redefining the relationship between humans, their actions and the divine. This book argues that human nature is the total determination of the human being from above by Gods grace in Christ. Publisher Description In recent Barth studies it has been argued that a key to understanding the theologians opposition to natural theology is his rejection of substantialist ontology. While this is true to an extent, this book argues that it is a mistake to see Barths actualistic ontology as diametrically opposed to traditional substantialism. Probing into Barths soteriological hamartiology in Church Dogmatics, III-IV, a largely neglected aspect of these volumes in recent debates on his understanding of being and act, it shows how his descriptions of sin, nature, and grace shed light on the precise manners in which his actualistic ontology operates on both a substance grammar of being and a process grammar of becoming, while rejecting the metaphysics underlying both grammars. Looking at issues such as original sin, universal salvation and human will, Barth is shown to be radically redefining the relationship between humans, their actions and the divine. This book argues that human nature is the total determination of the human being from above by Gods grace in Christ, while the existential dimension of the human being is also totally determined from below by the Adamic history of sin. This serves to demonstrate Barths endeavours in eliminating the vestiges of natural theology within the Western tradition handed down from Augustine. By exploring these issues this book offers a fresh insight into Barths relationship with his theological forbears. As such, it will be vital reading for any scholar of Barth studies, the problem of evil, and theological ontology.
