{"product_id":"9780567564696","title":"Incarnational Realism: Trinity and the Spirit in Augustine and Barth","description":"In the last half\u003cbr\u003eof the 20th century, a consensus emerged that Christian theology in\u003cbr\u003ethe Western tradition had failed to produce a viable doctrine of the Holy\u003cbr\u003eSpirit, and that Augustine's trinitarian theology bore the blame for much of\u003cbr\u003ethat failure. This book offers a fresh rereading of Western trinitarian\u003cbr\u003etheology to better understand the logic of its pneumatology. Ables studies the\u003cbr\u003epneumatologies of Augustine and Karl Barth, and argues that the vision of the\u003cbr\u003edoctrine of the Spirit in these theologians should be understood as a way of\u003cbr\u003etalking about participating in the mystery of God as a performance of the life\u003cbr\u003eof Christ. He claims that for both\u003cbr\u003etheologians trinitarian doctrine encapsulates the grammar of the divine\u003cbr\u003eself-giving in history. The function of pneumatology in particular is to\u003cbr\u003earticulate the human reception and enactment of God's self-giving as itself\u003cbr\u003epart of the act of God; this \"self-involving\" logic is the special grammar of\u003cbr\u003ethe doctrine of the Holy Spirit.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47123890897136,"sku":"9780567564696","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780567564696_p0.jpg?v=1763719202","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780567564696","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
