Beyond Immanence

Theology

“Beyond the direct reception of Kierkegaard by Barth, which has its problematic side, Alan Torrance and Andrew Torrance show here with compelling precision how these two giants of the Christian tradition share certain fundamental insights into the nature of Christian truth—what they call the ‘Kierkegaard-Barth trajectory.’ As the exposition continues, however, we learn that they themselves stand within this trajectory. Indeed, as the book unfolds, step by step, Kierkegaard’s and Barth’s shared theological epistemology is both clarified and articulated. The result is nothing less than a major theological statement, which resonates with significance for adjacent philosophical, cultural, and political realms. But then what else would we expect when two of the finest theological minds of our generation explore two of the greatest theological minds of all time?”
