Freedom, Necessity, and the Knowledge of God: In Conversation with Karl Barth and Thomas F. Torrance

Paul D. Molnar (St. John's University, USA)

Paul D. Molnar discusses issues related to the concepts of freedom and necessity in trinitarian doctrine. He considers the implications of non-conceptual knowledge of God by comparing the approaches of Karl Rahner and T. F. Torrance. He also reconsiders T. F. Torrance’s new natural theology and illustrates why Christology must be central when discussing liberation theology.

Further, he explores Catholic and Protestant relations by comparing the views of Elizabeth Johnson, Walter Kasper and Karl Barth, as well as relations among Christians, Jews and Muslims by considering whether it is appropriate to claim that all three religions should be understood to be united under the concept of monotheism.

Finally, he probes the controversial issues of how to name God in a way that underscores the full equality of women and men and how to understand universalism by placing Torrance and David Bentley Hart into conversation on that subject.
