The Ascension in Karl Barth

Focusing on the doctrine of ascension, the book delves into Karl Barth's interpretation and its significance within his broader theological framework. It engages with the thoughts of theologians Torrance, Farrow, and Jenson to deepen the understanding of Barth's views. By addressing Christ's ascension from a wider Protestant perspective, the author emphasizes its importance and relevance. Andrew Burgess advocates for Christians to appreciate this often-overlooked doctrine, enhancing their understanding of contemporary issues related to Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the church, and Christian ethics.
