Описание: At the heart of Christian life and liturgy is the practice
of prayer, that distinctive and yet utterly perplexing act, which believers and
non-believers alike struggle to understand.
Drawing on the rich resources of the Christian tradition of
prayer and spirituality (including Origen, Augustine, the Reformers, Karl Barth,
Hans Urs von Balthasar and Thomas Merton), liturgical resources, and biblical
material, this book guides the reader through some of the fundamental
questions, tricky issues, and complex themes surrounding the problem of prayer
from a Christian perspective.
Additionally, Cocksworth describes and investigates the
recent re-turns to theologies of prayer and spirituality in contemporary
academic theology and ethics (including, amongst others, in the work of Rowan
Williams, Sarah Coakley, Stanley Hauerwas and Samuel Wells) and provides some
reflections on why prayer has suddenly once again become quite fashionable in
academic discourse.
Finally, Cocksworth examines some of the problems in
various popular approaches to prayer that market prayer in terms of individual
therapy or are dominated by issues of efficacy and the promise to pray better

Описание: Ashley Cocksworth presents Karl Barth as a theologian who not only produces a strong and vibrant theology of prayer, but also grounds theology itself in the practice of prayer. Prayer and theology are revealed to be integrally related in Barth's understanding of the dogmatic task. Cocksworth provides careful analysis of a range of key texts in Barth's thought in which the theme of prayer emerges with particular interest. He analyzes: Barth's writings on the Sabbath and uncovers an unexpected theology of contemplative prayer; the doctrine of creation of the Church Dogmatics and explores its prioritization of petitionary prayer; and the ethics of the doctrine of reconciliation in which a 'turn to invocation' is charted and the final 'resting place' of Barth's theology of prayer is found. Through the theme of prayer fundamental questions are asked about the relation of human agency to divine agency as conceived by Barth, and new insights are offered into his understandings of the nature and task of theology, pneumatology, sin, baptism, religion, and sanctification. The result is a rich engagement with Barth's theology of prayer, an advancement of scholarship on Karl Barth, and a constructive contribution to the theology of prayer.
