A Pastoral Proposal for an Evangelical Theology of Freedom. Albert J.D. Walsh

In concluding the series of lectures given while he made his first and only visit to the U.S., Dr. Karl Barth expressed his hope to see a theology of freedom for humanity originating from the U.S. As a respectful response to the expressed hope of Karl Barth, Albert Walsh presents this essay as a pastoral proposal on the subject of freedom from the point of view of the Judeo-Christian tradition. Walsh presents both biblical and theological foundations for a theology of freedom, which he calls «graced-freedom,» contending that this is that transcendent freedom that God alone confers and sustains as a freedom for humanity.
