Barth's Moral Theology: Human Action in Barth's Thought

Barth's Moral Theology: Human Action in Barth's Thought by Webster, John B.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780802838582.

This Book is an important study of Barths theology of human action, arguing that Barths work cannot be properly understood unless his interest in human agency is fully appreciated. Throughout, Professor John Webster demonstrates the contemporary vitality of the style and content of Barths theology. Many of the studies introduce posthumous texts by Barth which have so far received little attention (such as his lectures on Calvin and his ethics lectures), but which substantially revise the received views of Barths thinking about ethics and human action. Developing from the authors earlier study of Barths Ethics of Reconciliation (CUP, 1995), this book argues forcefully for Barths work as a whole to be understood as moral theology.
