Theology

“Trying to give a new impetus on thinking about the Bible, Peter Nafzger makes use of Karl Barth's theology of the Word in order to overcome those false dichotomies of conservative and modern approaches to Scripture. He sees Scripture in the framework of divine economy, and thus, as one form of the Word. Nafzger makes the reader perceive the Trinitarian and soteriological narrative, which he identifies as the basis of a cruciform theology of the Word of God. This (re-)discovery imparts an unmistakably Lutheran overtone to this sound and inspiring contribution to a necessary debate.”
