The Crux of Karl Barth’s Ecclesiological Problem

…  according to Michael Horton.  He is absolutely spot on though, and this type of thought is what most of my project revolves around: ‘In terms of [Barth's] ecclesiology, the parallel and never-intersecting lines of divine and creaturely action mean an absolute duality between the visible and invisible church.’ (People and Place, 175) This is …

Interesting thoughts from Broughton Knox on helping families grow in Christ together: “The congregation should nourish the spiritual life and fellowship of the family.  For example, up to half-a-dozen leaders should be chosen in each congregation whose first ministry should be to minister to families, i.e. to fathers and mothers, to encourage them to ensure …

What’s interesting for my 4th year project, is that it confirms the sort of direction I want to take to resolve the problem of the ‘pneumatological location’ of the nexus between the Opus Dei and Opus Hominum. …

Broughton Knox on Karl Barth

Interestingly, I came across this paper written by D.B. Knox which is a review of Karl Barth’s pamphlet, Christ and Adam. “6/- stg. is a lot to pay for a 45 page pamphlet but when it is by Karl Barth the reader can be sure that if he perseveres with the verbose and sometimes obscure …
