The Sign of the Gospel: Toward an Evangelical Doctrine of Infant Baptism After Karl Barth: Emerging Scholars

Autor W. Travis McMaken
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 iul 2013
This volume claims that a reorientation of the doctrine of baptism opens up a new perspective on the practice of infant baptism on the basis of Barth's theology; this new perspective, as well, holds the potential for wide, ecumenical application as a form of the proclamation of the gospel and a vital dimension of the church's missional vocation.

Recenzii

"The rejection by the 'mature' Barth of infant baptism has long been problematic for paedo-baptists, raising the question of whether there is a contradiction with and departure from his earlier theological position. In this thorough and careful study, Travis McMaken demonstrates that Barth's view is a quite logical development from the earlier theology of election, but not the only logical development. This work is an important contribution to both Barth studies and the theology of baptism." Bryan D Spinks Yale Divinity School "This wide-ranging, insightful, and sophisticated work is, without doubt, a signal contribution to Barth studies: a fascinating explication of the Church Dogmatics, and related texts, that will be gratefully received. Yet it is also a valuable intervention into contemporary discussions, and will be of especial interest to those who wish to think well - and to think better - about baptism." Paul Dafydd Jones University of Virginia "Exhibiting lucid analysis and deep insight, The Sign of the Gospel offers an impressive exploration of the doctrine of baptism in the theology of Karl Barth. McMaken traces the historic and scriptural backdrop to Barth's position, analyses his mature rejection of infant baptism, and constructs one way of accepting infant baptism within Barth's framework. The result is a welcome and significant contribution to Barth studies in particular and sacramental theology in general." Paul Nimmo University of Edinburgh
