Karl Barth on the Filioque. David Guretzki

More about the book

The book delves into Karl Barth's doctrine of the Holy Spirit, particularly his stance on the Filioque, which has often been overlooked in theological discussions. While his commitment to the procession of the Holy Spirit from both the Father and the Son is noted, this work argues that Barth's perspective offers valuable insights into the ecumenical debate between Eastern and Western trinitarian theology. It traces his early influences and analyzes the role of the Filioque in his Church Dogmatics, ultimately presenting Barth's unique position as more aligned with Eastern views than commonly perceived.
