of its fulfilment in Jesus Christ, who has finished it in our position. the result's a imaginative and prescient of the ethical lifestyles as a human analogy to God's grace, a imaginative and prescient which contrasts with the bourgeois imaginative and prescient of the ethical lifestyles as an expression of human capability.

Barth's ethical theology is gifted right here because the try and reorder moral suggestion and perform in mild of this primary declare. This lucid and well-argued learn is the main entire therapy of Barth's ethics thus far, supplying an intensive account of the improvement of Barth's moral idea and a wide-ranging research of its leader techniques and arguments. McKenny explains why convinced common assumptions approximately Barth's ethical theology are flawed and explores the wealthy, advanced, and
often fabulous ways that Barth's place engages the traditions of Christian ethics and glossy continental ethical proposal. especially, McKenny indicates why Barth's ethical theology merits our realization despite, or quite as a result of, its uneasy slot in the mainstream culture of Christian moral
theology.
