Karl Barth’s famous account of the doctrine of election in his mammoth Dogmatics has been described as the heart of his theology–a great hymn to the grace of God in Christ. Discover the person who initially stimulated Barth’s mammoth reworking of the classical view of the doctrine–pastor/theologian Pierre Maury (1890-1956). Their close friendship and especially a seminal paper Maury gave in 1936 entitled Election and Faith helped stimulate Barth’s reflection. Discover some never-before-translated works of Maury as well as a revision of a previously published piece on predestination. In this revised and expanded second edition, seven theologians reflect on the significance of these works for us today from historical, textual, pastoral, and theological standpoints, and seek to draw conclusions for us in our contemporary setting.
