Karl Barth
At least two of Barth's main claims are incompatible with basic commitments of Catholic theology, though in neither case does seeing the problem in Barth depend on accepting uniquely Catholic beliefs. If carried through consistently (which Barth does not do) his claim that God has his being in his act of revelation proves incompatible with the insistence of Nicene trinitarianism that three distinct persons are one God, and that one divine person …
Reasons to Say Farewell
For Paul Molnar, “A Catholic Appraisal” unfairly holds Barth to be inconsistent in claiming that God has his being in his act of revelation, and he shows that Barth often says the opposite of this. This does not resolve the inconsistency, but simply makes it more apparent. For Paul Hinlicky, the essay unfairly assumes that Barth needs to be consistent in the first place. Reflection on the law of identity shows how unfruitful it is for theologians…

Ex Occidente Lux? Aquinas and Eastern Orthodox Theology

Theological accounts of the way God justifies sinners often struggle to combine forensic or declarative ideas about justification with transformationist ones.

Jesus, Humanity and the Trinity

Two closely related questions receive distinctively theological answers in this study: What is truth? and How can we tell whether what we have said is true? Bruce Marshall proposes that the Christian community's identification of God as the Trinity serves as the key to a theologically adequate treatment of these questions. Professor Marshall argues on trinitarian grounds that the Christian way of identifying God ought to have unrestricted primacy…

The Disunity of the Church and the Credibility of the Gospel
“Inscrutable states of affairs, like sameness of faith in the heart, ought not ... to be ‘taken by themselves,’ as though the unity of the church consisted only of such invisible ties but should rather be taken as interior or structural aspects of a visible, empirical, community they help to unify.”
