His first effort consisted of a series of lectures at the University of Göttingen in 1924-25. These provocative lectures are now available in English for the first time in \u003ci\u003eThe Göttingen Dogmatics: Instruction in the Christian Religion\u003c\/i\u003e, a work that is at once accessible and profoundly pastoral. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Representing the only larger dogmatics ever completed by Barth, the \u003ci\u003eGöttingen Dogmatics\u003c\/i\u003eprefigures the unfinished \u003ci\u003eChristian Dogmatics\u003c\/i\u003e of Münster and the \u003ci\u003eChurch Dogmatics\u003c\/i\u003e of Bonn and Basel. This translation by Geoffrey W. Bromiley, the premier translator of Barth, offers in two volumes the full text of Barth's Göttingen lectures according to the excellent three-volume Swiss edition in the \u003ci\u003eGesamtausgabe (Collected Words)\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this first volume Barth defines \u003ci\u003edogmatics\u003c\/i\u003e as \"scientific reflection on the Word of God\" -- the Word that is (1) spoken by God in revelation, (2) recorded in holy scripture, and (3) proclaimed and heard in Christian preaching. After his lengthy prolegomena on the threefold form of the Word of God, Barth discusses in depth the doctrine of God. His treatment of the other major doctrinal loci in his preaching-oriented dogmatics -- anthropology, reconciliation, and redemption (eschatology) -- will appear in Volume Two. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Daniel L. Migliore, professor of systematic theology at Princeton Theological Seminary, has written a superb, substantive introduction that highlights the theological and historical significance of the\u003ci\u003eGöttingen Dogmatics\u003c\/i\u003e and compares this work with Barth's \u003ci\u003eChurch Dogmatics\u003c\/i\u003e. Migliore points out, among other things, the intimate bond for Barth between dogmatics and preaching: in the Göttingen lectures we see a Barth \"who tenaciously does theology -- indeed defines theology -- in relation to preaching and pastoral praxis.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Ministers, seminary students, scholars, and theologically minded general readers will all appreciate and benefit from the \u003ci\u003eGöttingen Dogmatics\u003c\/i\u003e. As Migliore writes, \"These lectures not only provide exceedingly rich new material for understanding the development of Barth's thought but also offer a remarkably original, lively, and 'reader-friendly' summary of Barth's earthly theology. . . . The clarity, passion, originality, struggle, candor, and humor exhibited in these lectures will establish a permanent place for them in the history of twentieth-century theology.\"\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 552\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.24 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 12, 1991\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42592970965088,"sku":"9780802833372","price":74.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/ODR2by9ZajV0ZXM4NEJHTG5tKzRzdz09.webp?v=1771491322","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/the-gottingen-dogmatics-instruction-in-the-christian-religion-paperback-1","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
