Divine Wisdom as Judgment: Reading Biblical Wisdom with Karl Barth - Paperback

by Kyle McCracken (Author)

Divine Wisdom as Judgment insists that because the place we come to know God's wisdom is in God's overturning of human wisdom on the cross, the only possible wisdom that remains open to us is faith in this Judge. With attention to a neglected portion of Karl Barth's corpus, the repair of a widespread misperception about the incompatibility between Barth and biblical wisdom, and exegesis of Paul's apocalyptic gospel, this book enters discussion with one of contemporary theology's most ubiquitous themes.
