355 Soaking in Divine Spirit (6) Barth and Disturbed Sinners

The Uncensored Unprofessor

What did the famous German theologian Karl Barth teach about God's Spirit? I highlight four of Barth's emphases. Particularly I land on Barth's teaching about how Christians, by the agency of God's Spirit, become disturbed sinners; I think it will help make sense of your own walk. I also admire what Barth taught about God's Spirit and mission: to be a Christ-follower is to be engaged in Christ's own gospel mission. Another revelation in this episode is that the 20th century saw an explosion on Pneumatology, the theology about the Holy Spirit. What surprising demographic drove that explosion? Along the way I also work through the Democrat to Republican ratios at universities and their different academic disciplines. Come and think carefully with me about life, all of which falls under the Lordship of Christ.
