Abstract

AbstractThis chapter is concerned with the economy of the Holy Spirit. It seeks to redress the accusation (connected to the accusation of universalism) of Christomonism in Barth. It argues that for Barth's theology the economy of the Holy Spirit is the operation of God which allows for the place of faith and Christian existence within a universalist soteriology based strongly on the objective work of Christ: the Spirit allows this objective reality to reach the community and the individual. The chapter discusses the temporal ‘remit’ of the Spirit; the role of the Spirit in the reception of revelation; the operation of the Spirit in establishing Christian particularity and identity; Barth's concept of correspondence (Entsprechung); the Spirit's work in establishing human identity and particularity; and the role of the Spirit in eschatology.
