Doxological Theology Karl Barth on Divine Providence, Evil, and the Angels

'Of the making of books about Barth's theology there appears to be noend. All credit to Christopher Green, then; for focusing on a relativelyunexplored corner of Barth's thought - his doctrine of providence - and fordoing it the way Barth does it, using the Lord's Prayer as an interpretiveframework. This is an exceptionally close reading of Barth's christologicalcorrection of a central pillar of Reformed theology.' - Kevin J. Vanhoozer, BlanchardProfessor of Theology, Wheaton College Graduate School, USA -- Kevin J. Vanhoozer 'In this book Green offersa careful and insightful exploration of volume III/3 of Barth's /Church Dogmatics/ - one of the mostimportant yet one of the least investigated parts of Barth's corpus. Green'sexposition and analysis proceeds with both a deep sensitivity for the internalcoherence of the rather diverse topics covered in III/3 and a firm awareness ofthe broader content and form of Barth's theology. At times creative, at timescontroversial, Green is always engaging: this book isdestined to become a necessary conversation-point for any future work in thisresearch area.' - Paul T. Nimmo, The University of Edinburgh, UK. -- Paul T. Nimmo Barth scholars will be engaged with Green's adjudication of the various related issues vis-a-vis the relevant secondary literature especially in the footnotes, while a range of other readers, from postliberals to evangelicals and even pentecostals, will appreciate the fundamentally performative theology of providence presented in this excellent first book. -- Amos Young, Regent University School of Divinity Religious Studies Review
