Smith, Aaron T.

A Theology of the Third Article Karl Barth and the spirit of the word Aaron T. Smith - U.S.A. Fortress 2014 - 254tr. Paperback 23cm

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.
