A Theology of the Third Article Karl Barth and the spirit of the word

Toward the end of his career, Karl Barth made the provocative statement that perhaps what Schleiermacher was up to was a `theology of the third article` and that he anticipated in the future that a true third-article theology would appear. Many interpreters took that to indicate not only a change in Barth's perception of Schleiermacher but also as a self-referential critique. The author investigates this claim and argues for a Barthian pneumatology-a doctrine of the Holy Spirit grounded in the scriptural witness and connected to Barth's vital Christological and dialectical theology.
