Description
This book stages an intervention in Reformed readings of the doctrine of providence, particularly around Barths critical interpretation of the tradition stemming from Calvin and Schleiermacher, and provides a critical and constructive assessment of Barths contribution. The author argues that while Barth advances the discussion in key ways, his reading of Calvin in particular is significantly hampered by his running challenge to Schleiermacher.
Following an assessment of Barths critique of the Reformed position, the author provides an extensive reading of Calvins writings, demonstrating that Calvin is far more concerned with the Christological basis and Christian meaning of providence than Barths theology recognizes; as well, Schleiermachers theological construction problematizes aspects of Barths reading.
The upshot of this work is that each of these theologians provide critical safeguards and soundings that need to be heard in concert and mutual correction for a robust doctrine of divine providence.
