Commanding Grace: Studies in Karl Barth's Ethics

by Daniel L. Migliore

In this seminal volume, thirteen contemporary theologians revisit the theological ethics of Karl Barth as it bears on such topics as the moral significance of Jesus Christ, the Christian as ethical agent, the just war theory, the virtues and limits of democracy, and the difference between an economy of competition and possession and an economy of grace.

[Daniel Rempel · Rating 4 out of 5]

A really interesting collection of constructive engagements with Barth’s ethics, although you wouldn’t know that from Biggar’s piece. I particularly appreciated the response essays which provoked further thought (Sonderegger’s and Holmes’ are of particular note in that regard).
