Karl Barth and the Lord's Supper: The Crowning of the Christian Life, (Hardcover)

<p><b>This book offers a fresh perspective on Karl Barth's doctrine of the Eucharist.</b> Drawing carefully on some of the latest work in Barth studies, it constructs a creative account of the Lord's Supper which captures both the central insights of his theological ethics and the unrealised potential of his theological ontology. The result is a powerful demonstration of both the profound resources present in Barth's sacramental theology and the ecumenical possibilities that it has to offer. </p><p>The first section of the book thinks with Barth in exploring the development of his understanding of the Eucharist over the course of his career. In the second section, a creative attempt is made to think after Barth, by constructing an original account of the Eucharist that is true to the insights of Barth's mature work - including his completed work on baptism and his last utterances on the Eucharist. A short conclusion considers this account of the Eucharist in ecumenical perspective.</p>
