Covering 📔 Up ⬆️ Luther. How Barths Christology Challenged the Deus Absconditus That Haunts Modernity

✅ Karl Barths Christology provides a key 🔑 to out-narrating the Deus absconditus, which, as Rustin Brian contends, is in fact the god of modernity. Included in this is the rejection of the logical and ➕ philosophical systems that allow for the modern understanding of God as the Deus absconditus, namely 📛, dialectics and ➕ nominalism. This rejection is illustrated, interestingly enough, in Barths decision to literally cover 📔 up ⬆️, with a rug, Martin Luthers works ⚙️ in his 👤👨⬅️ personal 💻️ library. Surely this was more than a decorative touch. The reading 👤📖 of Barths works ⚙️ that results from this starting point 👈️ challenges much of contemporary Barth scholarship and ➕ urges readers to reconsider Barth. Through careful 💅 examination of a large body 👃 of Barths writings ✍️, particularly in regard to the issues of the knowledge or knowability of God, as well as Christology, Brian argues that contemporary Barth scholarship should be done ⌛️ in careful 💅 conversation with the finest examples of both Protestant and ➕, especially, Roman Catholic theology. Barths paradoxical Christology thus becomes the foundation for a dogmatic ecumenicism. Barths Christology, then, just might be able to open 😃 up ⬆️ possibilities for discussion and ➕ even convergence, within a church ⛪️ that is anything but one 1️⃣.
