The Doctrine of Re-creation or Resurrection in Christ as the Foundation for Everything in the Theologies of Barth and Torrance
I thought I would quickly share this from Dawson as well; on
Barth’s doctrine of resurrection. For some reason I love this concept, it’s
probably because it is so distinct from the usual ways I have thought of
resurrection. As an evangelical resurrection has always been a touchstone
related to apologetics and/or historiography in the field of higher critical
Jesus Studies. It is more than refreshing to come across a theologian like
Barth who simply approaches resurrection as a non-analogous novum;
something for which all else in the created order hinges. It is refreshing to
come across resurrection as a doctrine of re-creation, as if we must, as
Christians, start all of our thinking about God and created reality (including
ourselves) from there. This has to be one of the most ground breaking earth shattering
things Barth has bequeathed to Christian theology; i.e. his doctrine of
re-creation, or resurrection.
