Описание:
The Tree of Life is an important motif in Scripture, appearing first in the Garden of Eden and reappearing in the New Jerusalem. A careful study of the exegesis and theological application of the Tree of Life provides important insights into the hermeneutical presuppositions and process of a theologian. Mr. Shelley has here compiled a critical study of the two great bookends of Western theology: Augustine and Karl Barth. By comparing the treatment of the Tree of Life by these two great theologians, Mr. Shelley has highlighted Augustine’s four senses of Scripture and his Creation-Fall- Redemption-Consummation narrative structure, contrasting this sharply to Barth’s six motifs of theology and his Fall-Creation-Redemption narrative structure. The implications of these differing approaches is explored in the doctrines of anthropology, ecclesiology, soteriology, revelation, and Creation.Похожие книги
