Zusatztext Christopher Green has provided a lucid examination of Church Dogmatics III/3, showing how, for Barth, a commitment to belief in God’s providence compels the human creature to pray for God’s will to be done on earth as in heaven ... Green’s study is articulate and well crafted, and is more an attentive and appreciative commentary than a critique (his critical comments surface mainly in footnotes and the concluding chapter). Comparison of Barth with other scholars on providence and evil should not be expected, for Green purposely wants to give ear to Barth’s voice alone, and he does so admirably ... Throughout, Green expertly draws out the themes of prayer and praise as they shape Barth’s engagement with and correction of the Reformed tradition ... Doxological Theology is a masterly analysis of a challenging text.

Klappentext An examination of Barth's understanding of God's providence and the Reformed theology of Prayer, based on CD III/3. Vorwort An examination of Barth's understanding of God's providence and the Reformed theology of Prayer, based on CD III/3. Zusammenfassung In 1949, Karl Barth confidently upholds a high doctrine of divine providence, main-taining God's control of every event in history. His argument is at once cheerful, but also defiant in the face of a Europe that is war-weary and doubtful of the full sovereignty of God. Barth's movement to praise God shows his affin-ity for the Reformed theological tradition. While Barth often distances himself from his Calvinist predecessors in important ways, he sees his own view of providence to be a positive reworking of the Reformed position in order to maintain what he un-derstands as its most important insights: the praiseworthiness of the God of provi-dence and the doxology of the creature. Doxological Theology investigates how the theologian, in response to the praiseworthy God of the Reformed tradition, is ex-pected to pray his or her way through the doctrine of providence.
