Contents:

The glory of God and human agency: initial considerations -- The glory of God according to Karl Barth -- The glory of God according to Karl Barth -- Hans Urs von Balthasar on the glory of God -- The glory of God in scripture: a theological engagement with Exodus, 2 Corinthians and the gospel of John.

Subject: This study builds a case for seeing divine glory as intrinsically relational, creating a sociality which allows for a human agency transfigured by God's glory. Moving beyond Barth and von Balthasar, this work turns to theological exegesis of scripture to construct an alternative account of divine glory. This glory is worked out in the act of glorifying: first in God, then in divine glorifying of humans, creating a responsive human glorifying of God; and finally in processes of honoring of glorifying among humans. Divine glory is shown to be consistent with a responsive and creative human obedience to God, and shown to constitute human agency which is creaturely and dependent yet not overwhelmed.
