Freiheit aus Glauben
Studien zum Verständnis eines soteriologischen Leitmotivs bei Wilhelm Herrmann, Rudolf Bultmann und Eberhard Jüngel
[Freedom through Belief. Studies on the Understanding of a Soteriological Leitmotif in Wilhelm Herrmann, Rudolf Bultmann and Eberhard Jüngel]
Series:Theologische Bibliothek Töpelmann 157
Aims and Scope
In the tradition of reformatory theology “freedom” is a leitmotiv for the evolvement of the importance of Christian faith for salvation. Christoph Herbst studies the understanding of “freedom through faith” in three 19th- and 20th-century protestant classics. The detailed analysis of the concepts laid out by Wilhelm Herrmann, Rudolf Bultmann and Eberhard Jüngel reveals an extensive consensus in the theological controversy: faith frees modern man from the fixation on objectivising rationality and the problematic effects it has on how he deals with himself and the world.
