The Ascension in Karl Barth

More about the book

Focusing on the doctrine of ascension, this book delves into Karl Barth's interpretation and its theological significance. It analyzes Jesus Christ's ascension and engages with theologians Torrance, Farrow, and Jenson to deepen the understanding of Barth's ideas. By addressing Christ's ascension from a broader Protestant perspective, it highlights its importance and encourages Christians to reflect on contemporary relevance, the Holy Spirit's role, the church, and Christian ethics. Andrew Burgess advocates for recognizing this doctrine as vital for coherent theological thought.
