In 1960, the American church got its first look at three of Karl Barth’s extraordinary essays in The Humanity of God. The essays challenged many theologians’ prejudices about Barth’s thought and raised questions for Christian theology with which we wrestle today. We’ll do three conversations about Karl Barth and what his theology means for the church today based on The Humanity of God. Stanley and I will talk about the day’s essay for the first 40-50 minutes and then field questions for the remainder of the time.
This third session of Reading More Barth Together covered the third essay, "The Gift of Freedom" in which Barth sketches the understanding of freedom he thinks necessary for evangelical ethics.
