Routledge Ethics with Barth: God, Metaphysics and Morals

Explore a groundbreaking study of Karl Barth, one of the most important Christian thinkers of the twentieth century. While interest in Barth's theology remains high, his moral thought is often misunderstood. This volume provides a fresh perspective by offering the first treatment of Barth's ethics from a Roman Catholic viewpoint. Focusing on the 'ethics of creation' found within the Church Dogmatics, this work by Rose reclaims Barth's ideas from common misinterpretations. It presents a clear account of the good life as it exists within his unique Christian metaphysics. This text is an essential resource for scholars and students looking to understand the connection between Barth's theology and his moral philosophy.
