EDWARD VAN 'T SLOT
Negativism of Revelation?
Bonhoeffer and Barth on Faith and Actualism
[O enbarungsnegativismus? Bonhoe er und Barth über Glaube und Aktualismus.]
Published in English.
What do those who believe 'have' when they 'have faith'? What traces does the experience of
faith leave in the believer's existence? And can theologians assure that their studies will
genuinely have something to do with 'the wholly Other'? Dietrich Bonhoe er (1906–1945),
operating within the framework of Karl Barth's (1886–1968) theology, addressed those
questions in order to complete this framework. The ensuing dialogue between those great
theologians a ords us a deeper insight in fundamental concepts such as 'revelation', 'faith',
'christological concentration', 'analogy', 'church' and 'discipleship'. In this study, Edward van 't
Slot reads this dialogue with regard to both its historical and its theological signi cance. He
shows what Bonhoe er means when he attacks Barth's 'positivism of revelation', and compares
it with Barth's earlier 'negativism of revelation'.
