Hope in Barth's Eschatology presents a critical investigation and survey of Karl Barth's writings particularly his Church Dogmatics IV.3 in order to locate the character and nature of 'hope' within Barth's eschatology. McDowell locates Barth within the context of larger traditions of theological thinking and influential accounts of Christian hope examining the work of Steiner MacKinnon Pannenberg Rahner Moltmanm and others and addressing the relative neglect that Barth commentators have paid to eschatological themes. This book offers a significant contribution to the ongoing task of understanding Barth's theology whilst developing a way of reading hope and eschatology that ultimately places some critical questions at Barth's door.
