Recognizing Barth's insight that God is mystery, he suggests that theology is best seen not as a restating of old orthodoxies but as an ongoing response to that divine mystery. Johnson's reassessment of Barth opens exciting possibilities for a new appropriation of Barth's insights for contemporary theology and the church.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">William Stacy Johnson</note> <subject> <topic>Barth, Karl -- 1886-1968</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Bible -- A.T -- Theology</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">230.044092</classification> <classification authority="ddc">W716-J66</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9780664220945, 0664220940</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/11759/12.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/11759/12.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2023-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071043.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
