Doctrine Of Election

AbstractThe article compares the doctrine of election in the theology of Friedrich Schleiermacher, particularly his magisterial essay on the topic from 1819, and the theology of Karl Barth between 1920 and 1925. It argues that both positions are strikingly similar, in regard to both their critical evaluation of the tradition and their constructive proposals for a new foundation. Both theologians offer a theocentric reassessment that shuns the particularism of previous approaches and affirms the unity of the divine will. Schleiermacher defends the Augustinian-Calvinist view of election as a bulwark against Manichaeism and Pelagianism. Still, he criticizes the idea of eternal damnation and argues that the concept of reprobation instead should be understood as a temporal ‘passing over’. The kingdom of God is realized gradually, not in one instant. Similarly, for Barth predestination is not a pre-temporal decree that divides human beings into two separate groups of persons but is actualized ever anew in history, when God’s address entails the miracle of faith through the work of the Holy Spirit. The twofold possibility of faith and unbelief is constitutive for the human encounter with God, and it concerns believers and unbelievers alike, since no person is forever exclusively elect or reprobate. Barth also insists that the relation between reprobation and election is non-dualistic and teleological: predestination is a movement

Doctrine Of Election

Friedrich Schleiermacher stood consciously in the tradition of John Calvin, both institutionally and theologically. He preached as a Reformed minister, and he did his theology with the intention of describing the religious consciousness of a branch of the Reformed Church. His conscious relationship to Calvin is especially evident throughout the essay ‘Concerning the Doctrine of Election’, and is explicit in The Christian Faith as well.

Doctrine Of Election

AbstractThe doctrine of election lies at the heart of Reformed theology. This essay offers a review of Matthias Gockel's recent comparison between two of Reformed theology's greatest voices: that of Friedrich Schleiermacher and Karl Barth. Gockel outlines Schleiermacher's contribution to the doctrine before turning to consider its modifications in Barth's work. The advance of these two thinkers on this issue has significant implications for the ongoing questions of universal election and universal salvation. Consequently, the possibility of an apokatastasis panton arises naturally from their theology. This possibility is briefly explored.

En este trabajo nos proponemos analizar la propuesta del concepto de femenino en el pensamiento de Friedrich Schleiermacher, un análisis no muy común cuando se trata de uno de los principales teólogos modernos. Sin embargo, pocos saben que Schleiermacher ha sido entre los primeros filósofos que eleva el tema de lo femenino a objeto de reflexión filosófica. Por lo cual, nos proponemos, partiendo de su escrito llamado Cartas Confidenciales a la novela Lucinde de Friedrich Schlegel, comprender el valor de la virtud femenina necesaria crear comunidad y cultura. Para esto, primero presentaremos un breve contexto en el cual surge el pensamiento de Friedrich Schleiermacher; después expondremos la intención y el mensaje de la novela Lucinde de Friedrich Schlegel, para de allí analizar cuál fue la intención de Schleiermacher al escribir la Cartas Confidenciales y como llega a considerar que uno de los principios fundamentales de la vida ética es una virtud femenina. La vigencia de esta propuesta de Schleiermacher para nuestros tiempos es muy importante para hacernos comprender hoy que lo femenino no se tiene que imponer mediante una ideología de género, sino que la mujer tiene que aprender descubrir y valorar lo valiosos en su propia naturaleza para así contribuir, como siempre lo ha hecho, al desarrollo de la cultura.

Intellectual Production

Even though Germany’s colonial empire lasted merely three decades, from 1884 to 1915, German colonial fantasies shaped intellectual production from the late eighteenth century onward. This cultural climate shapes a great variety of engagements with the Bible, from the beginnings of liberal theology with Friedrich Schleiermacher to missionary efforts and the rather abstract academic productions of biblical scholarship in the late nineteenth century, including the prominent history of religions school. At the same time, there are also efforts to resist colonial tendencies, sometimes in the work of the same authors who otherwise perpetuate the colonial spirit.

Abstract Between 1819 and 1832 Friedrich Schleiermacher was giving lectures on the life of Jesus at the University of Berlin. The following article includes two partial editions, which document the introductory parts of the lectures from 1819/20 and 1829/30. Both are based on manuscripts written by Schleiermacher’s listeners. Especially to explore the development of Schleiermacher’s conceptual considerations this two partial editions should be a useful addition to the new critical edition of Schleiermacher’s Vorlesungen über das Leben Jesu published in 2018 by Walter Jaeschke (KGA II/15).
