What Theological Commitments Structure Loving Attention to Moses’s Law
Augustine and Aquinas assume that Moses’s law figures Christ. In this piece, I show how their complementary accounts of the old law rest upon other doctrinal emphases, namely providence, God the Father, and created things as participations in divine goodness. By drawing out these themes, I advance reflection on the worth of Moses’s law, unfolding how other doctrines structure loving attention to the law as indicative of Christ
The Shape of God's Providence: Some Reflections in Dialogue with Barth and Thomas
The Christian doctrine of providence involves God, but in what way? In this article, I engage in a broad comparative and reflective exercise on the theological function of providence, drawing primarily upon the insights of Karl Barth and Thomas Aquinas and, to a lesser extent, those of John Webster. I show their broad agreement with respect to the nature of divine causality as well as the metaphysics of creatureliness, advancing a truly theocentr…
Discerning Barth’s Legacy: Sorting the Good Conflicts From the Bad
In dialogue with Christiane Tietz's engrossing biography, this review essay addresses the different conflicts that characterize Barth's life. I discuss what conflicts we should be grateful for and what conflicts we should regret. My main interest is in how the story of Barth's personal and private life intersects with the story of his extraordinary theological career. My working assumption in this review is that there is an indirect line between …
Reading Scripture with Gratitude: Joseph Mangina's Contribution to Theological Exegesis
This article introduces a symposium in honour of Joseph Mangina, the previous editor of Pro Ecclesia. Mangina's two books on Karl Barth lead to his commentary on the book of Revelation, for Barth shows that Scripture matters because God matters—a conviction that informs all Mangina's work. Scripture's claims about God have practical and affective consequences for the Christian life, most prominently in our gratitude to God for his love of creatur…
What does prayer teach us about God
Using Augustine as a dialogue partner, I consider what prayer teaches us about God and ourselves in relation to God. I argue, primarily, that prayer illuminates the great distinction between creatures and God, enabling us to live into it. Second, I reflect on the elucidating power of prayer with respect to our participation in God. In so doing, I show the 'shaping effect' of metaphysical reflection on the prayers of the faithful
Last Things
Concentration on God makes Reformed theology ‘reformed’, and this concentration will form the basis for the treatment of eschatology in the present chapter. I pursue three things in this chapter. First, I provide a brief account of a few of the main themes of eschatology in Reformed perspective in conversation with the leading English-speaking Reformed theologian of the twentieth century, Thomas F. Torrance. Second, I provide a distinctive and su…
Revisiting the God/World Difference
On what basis do we distinguish God from the world? I argue that the doctrine of creation, more specifically the analogical notion of causa , supplies a salutary foundation. My conversation partners are Karl Barth and Thomas Aquinas. I take up the former's five conditions for a right theological use of causa , demonstrating that despite his basic misreading of Thomas, both theologians share some basic convictions regarding God's independence. I a…

Bonhoeffer and Reformed Christology: Towards a Trinitarian Supplement
In this article, I examine Bonhoeffer’s aversion to the Reformed extra Calvinisticum, namely that the extra undermines a real incarnation, the sense in which God is “wholly there.” However, what Bonhoeffer did not supply is an account of what qualifies Jesus Christ to be the “God-human” and the “human-God.” This is where, I argue, a strong trinitarian supplement is necessary. Bonhoeffer’s rather undeveloped trinitarian theology undermined a full …
