Matthew Rose presents a fresh reading of Barth's moral thought, offering the first treatment of Barth's ethics from a Roman Catholic perspective. Focusing particularly on Barth's 'ethics of creation' in Church Dogmatics III/4., this book recovers Barth from a number of misinterpretations and presents his account of the good life within his distinctively Christian metaphysics. Among the topics treated are: the connection between dogmatics and ethics, the trinitarian nature of Christian ethics, the relation between theological ethics and Christian moral philosophy, the nature of the divine good, Barth's conception of moral reasoning, and his views on eudaimonism and the natural law. Written in a clear, direct style that will engage the general reader and stimulate the professional academic, this book can also be read as an introduction to, and a scholarly commentary upon, a number of key features of Barth's theology which have not received scholarly attention.
