Re-Figuring Theology
Here is a rhetorical treatment of Karl Barths early theology. Although scholars have long noted the rhetorical power of Barths work, calling it volcanic and explosive, this book uses rhetoric to illuminate the peculiar nature of his prose. It displays a Barth whose prose is radically unstable and inseparable from his theological arguments. The author connects Barths early theology to the Expressionism of the Weimar Republic. He develops an original theory of figures of speech, relying on the philosophies of Paul Ricoeur and Hayden White, to delve more deeply into the particular configurations of Barths writings. Nietzsches hyperbole and Kierkegaards irony are examined as rhetorical precedents of Barths style. The closing chapter surveys Barths later, realistic theology and then suggests ways in which his earlier tropes, especially the figures of excess and self-negation, can serve to enable theology to speak today.
