商品簡介
To reflect on questions about knowing God, Kooi (systematic theology, Free U., Amsterdam) employs theological history, or historical theology, limiting himself to two theologicans each of whom has assumed a representative place in Reformed Protestantism. Both Calvin (1509-64) and Barth (1886-1968), he says, made their choices and presented their vision of human knowledge of God in an independent manner and in entirely different intellectual climates; therefore, he deals with them separately. For Calvin he discusses ways of knowing, God as judge and father, and the sacramental supper and the knowledge of God. Then, after an interlude on Kant, he addresses Barth's thinking from such perspectives as the way of knowing God, the doctrine of God, and his view of the sacrament.
