About this book

Toward the end of his career, Karl Barth made the provocative statement that perhaps what Schleiermacher was up to was a “theology of the third-article” and that he anticipated in the future that a true third-article theology would appear. Many interpreters took that to indicate not only a change in Barth’s perception of Schleiermacher but also as a self-referential critique. The author investigates this claim and argues for a Barthian pneumatology—a doctrine of the Holy Spirit grounded in the scriptural witness and connected to Barth’s vital Christological and dialectical theology.
