Routledge Ecclesial Mediation in Karl Barth - Barth Studies

Explore the complex theological landscape of one of the 20th century's most influential thinkers. Karl Barth's work has shaped both Reformation and Roman Catholic traditions, making his ideas central to modern theological thought. This volume from the Barth Studies series by Routledge examines the vital relationship between divine and human action. Author John Yocum investigates one of the most controversial themes in Barth's theology. The text analyzes the tension regarding Barth's late rejection of the concept of sacrament, as seen in the final volume of his Church Dogmatics. By comparing this rejection to his earlier accounts of the nature and importance of sacraments, this book provides a deep look into the evolution of Barth's theological perspective.
