Barth had his theological education guided by the primary matrix of theological liberalism. During the First World War, however, before the calamity that has taken place, Barth became disenchanted with the liberal Protestant horizon, with its modern worldview, his theology and his immanentist utopia of social redemption grounded in belief in the progress of reason. The result was the rapprochement of Barth with classical Reformed tradition and the emergence of a theological approach that rescues principles of Christian orthodoxy and updates them with elements of modernity, namely the neo-orthodoxy. However, with the transcendent criterion not reason or aesthetics, but the Word of God attested in Scripture, and Jesus, understood as the incarnation of God as a hermeneutical key. The object of the dissertation, in its material dimension, is the Declaration of Barmer, and in its formal dimension, Barthian theology. The dissertation aims to analyze the historical and political conditions that favored the accession of the German Evangelical Church to the Nazis, and the correlation of positive theological presuppositions of Christianity with the liberal Protestantism. The course in research allows us to conclude that whenever theology loses a sense of the transcendent character and extraordinary revelation, human words are taken as divine. And this is not no harm to the Christian faith. Barth's theology provides a great service by emphasizing the transcendence of God's Word to all human words. Despite dialectically to use them to communicate, it transcends them and puts them into crisis, because it is perfect and eternal as the theologies, philosophies, ethics and policies are imperfect and incomplete. Therefore, the Christian community should be aware that if he wants to be faithful to her calling, she can never align itself automatically to any creed or political party and ideology, but to the Gospel / Karl Barth (1886 1968), natural da Basiléia, Suíça, foi um pastor e teólogo reformado de expressão exponencial. Barth teve sua educação teológica primária orientada pelas matrizes do liberalismo teológico. Durante a Primeira Guerra Mundial, porém, diante da tamanha calamidade que se instalou, Barth se desencantou com o horizonte protestante liberal, com sua cosmovisão moderna, sua teologia imanentista e sua utopia de redenção social calcada na crença no progresso da razão. O resultado disso foi a reaproximação de Barth com a tradição reformada clássica e o surgimento de uma abordagem teológica que resgata princípios da ortodoxia cristã e os atualiza com elementos da modernidade, a saber, a neo-ortodoxia. Todavia, tendo como critério transcendente não a razão ou a estética, e sim, a Palavra de Deus testemunhada nas Escrituras Sagradas, tendo Jesus, entendido como a encarnação de Deus, como chave hermenêutica. O objeto da dissertação, em sua dimensão material, é a Declaração de Barmem, e em sua dimensão formal, a teologia barthiana. A dissertação objetivou analisar as condições históricas e políticas que favoreceram a adesão da Igreja Evangélica Alemã ao nazismo, e a correlação de pressupostos teológicos do cristianismo positivo com o protestantismo liberal. O percurso na pesquisa nos permite concluir que sempre que a teologia perde a noção do caráter transcendente e extraordinário da revelação, palavras humanas são tomadas como divinas. E isso não acontece sem causar prejuízos à fé cristã. A teologia de Barth presta um grande serviço ao salientar a transcendência da Palavra de Deus a todas as palavras humanas. A despeito de se servir delas dialeticamente para se comunicar, ela as transcende e as põe em crise, porque é perfeita e eterna enquanto as teologias, as filosofias, as éticas e as políticas são imperfeitas e incompletas. Portanto, a comunidade cristã deve estar ciente de que se ele quer ser fiel ao seu chamado, ela jamais poderá se alinhar automaticamente a qualquer credo e partido político e ideológico, senão ao Evangelho

This work proposes that the foundation for justice in society begins with an understanding of personhood that begins with Christian theology. While ethical stances such as the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights are helpful in articulating the bounds of justice in society, such humanistic declarations and programs may reach an impasse if they do not incorporate the depth and complexity of human personhood revealed in Jesus Christ. I will make this argument by comparing the Christian anthropologies of two prominent advocates for social justice in the Catholic and Protestant traditions: Karol Wojytla/Pope John Paul II and Karl Barth. Parts One and Two of this thesis will examine the strong critique which both of these men offered within their own historical context toward systems which denied the vital connection between Christian theology and persons in society. These parts will outline the distinctly Christian anthropologies that each theologian proposed as a basis for social justice. The final part of this thesis will set these two anthropologies in critical interaction with one another in the key area of divergence: the ontology of human personhood and the methodological issues integral to it. While John Paul has raised critical issues which are central to social ethics and has articulated many of the complexities of human action, Karl Barth's Christological anthropology proposes an ontological construct of being which critically critiques human motivation and behaviour while also providing a social starting point for personal ethics.

This study analysis the concept of human needs form a systematic theological perspective. The definition of human needsis formulated to include the element of deficiency as well as the element of potential The study is divided in three parts according to the author’s definition of the task of systematic theology as coherent articulation of the Christian faith, the apologetic defense of the Christian faith against competing truth claims and the establishment of guidelines for the practical work of the church. According to this definition of the task of systematic theology, the study is divided into three parts. Part one analyses some of the classical loci of dogmatics for their implications for a Christian perspective on human needs. The doctrines of God, creation, Christ and salvation, the Spirit and the church as well as the doctrine of sin are analysed here. Special attention is paid to theological anthropology by analyzing the contributions of Karl Barth and Wolfhart Pannenberg in this regard. Part two analyses the origins and factual basis for the popular claims that a hierarchy of needs exist and that people have infinite needs. Serious deficiencies are found in Maslow’s theory of the pre-potency of needs. The contribution of Max-Neref, especially his distinction between needs and satisfies, facilitates a more nuanced understanding of the subject. As a conclusion to this part the results of part one and two are used to give a short outline of a Christian perspective on human needs. Humans need God as the basic ground and purpose of their existence. The presence of God is both mediated and presupposed by the fundamental need for other people. All human needs have a material basis. Human needs should be thought of as a network and not as a hierarchy. Here the symbolic needs facilitates the integration of the person while the material needs maintain the basis on which integration takes place People do not have infinite needs but needs the Infinite One. The third part provides clarity of what the concepts holistic and relevant mean for Christian ministry. / Thesis (DD (Dogmatics and Christian Ethics))--University of Pretoria, 2007. / Dogmatics and Christian Ethics / unrestricted

This thesis examines three students of Karl Barth’s work, all of whom articulate Christian theologies of Israel and Judaism under the influence of his thought and thus the wording of the title, after him. The three theologians are Paul M. van Buren (1924-1998), John Howard Yoder (1927-1997), and Robert Jenson (1930-2017). All three studied with or were supervised by Barth during the 1950s. Later, each of them would make significant contributions to post-Holocaust theologies of Israel and Judaism. In this thesis, I seek to elucidate the conceptual relationship between these two elements—each theologian’s early engagement with Barth and their later contributions to post-Holocaust theology—and argue that by examining the former, one can better understand the theological bases for the latter. I begin with an analysis of Barth’s doctrine of Israel. Barth claims that Israel and rabbinic Judaism are eternally determined to be witnesses to God’s own self-determination in Jesus Christ to be the God whose mercy rules in God’s judgment. A close comparative reading of van Buren, Yoder, and Jenson then follows. I begin by outlining the ways these three theologians appropriate and depart from Barth during or shortly after their time studying with him. I then trace the way each theologian’s early appropriation of and departure from Barth relates fundamentally to the development of their theologies of Israel and Judaism. My analysis reveals that each of the three critique Barth’s doctrine of God’s self-determination as the pre-determination of the identity of Israel and Judaism to be witnesses of Jesus Christ. This common critique enables each of the three to articulate a more positive account of Israel’s and rabbinic Judaism’s witness. / Dissertation / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) / This thesis examines three students of Karl Barth’s work, all of whom articulate Christian theologies of Israel and Judaism under the influence of his thought and thus the wording of the title, after him.

Notre travail, sur la base d’un corpus de textes très complet que nous avons rassemblé et numérisé (CD-rom en annexe), présente quelques grands thèmes de l’œuvre théologique du pasteur Louis Dallière (1897-1976). Après un aperçu biographique nous développons sa critique de la philosophie idéaliste et des répercussions qu’elle a engendré sur la théologie protestante. L. Dallière entend par là redonner droit à une ecclésiologie privilégiant le concret et foncièrement confessante. Dans cette optique, il entend repenser la pratique du baptême, en particulier celui des enfants. Dans un contexte de fin de la chrétienté, il souhaite privilégier l’immersion de confessants. En raison de son soutien au mouvement pentecôtiste naissant il défend aussi une spiritualité ouverte à l’exercice des charismes. Cette Église confessante a pour vocation de préparer la venue en gloire du Christ. Elle doit donc se réapproprier l’eschatologie sans pour autant s’abandonner aux excès apocalyptiques. Dans chacun des chapitres nous situerons l’auteur dans son contexte ecclésial et théologique. En conclusion nous indiquons quelle peut être la pertinence aujourd’hui de cette pensée. / I base my research on a fairly complete collection of pastor’s Dallière writings that I have assembled and digitized (see the CD-rom), presenting some of the main themes in the theology of Louis Dallière (1897-1976), a pastor in the Reformed church of France. After a biographical sketch of his life, I present his critique of Idealist philosophies and its impact on Protestant theology. I present Louis Dallière's larger objective of establishing a more concrete and confessional ecclesiology, including his rethinking of the practice of baptism, especially infant baptism. Convinced that the era of Christianity was coming to an end, he called for a renewed practice of the immersion of confessing believers. Because he supported the beginnings of Pentecostalism he also believed in a renewal of spiritual charisms within church life. I also explore the larger purpose of his call for a renewed confessing church to prepare for Christ's Second Coming, with his consequent re-appropriation of eschatology without the excesses of some apocalyptic movements. In each of our chapters I place L. Dallière in his ecclesiological and theological context. In my conclusion I explore the relevance of Dallière’s insights for our current theologies.
