The confession of faith in the lordship of Jesus Christ may be considered the originary practice of the Christian life. As such it recommends itself as a primary site at which to investigate the relation between the agency of the Holy Spirit and human activity. Focusing on 1Cor. 12:1–3, which identifies the act of the Spirit as the sine qua non of Christian confession, we examine its importance within the theological setting of Paul’s apocalyptic gospel in order to illumine classical Reformed debates about the nature of faith and ‘effectual calling’ in relation to the act of publicly confessing faith in Christ. Recognition of the Spirit as the present power of God’s eschatological reign, militant to shape reality, to win and secure faith, and to move women and men to a free creaturely acknowledgment of the same, proves essential to understanding the act of confessing the faith.

Abstract
In the context of his Church Dogmatics Karl Barth offers a radical and radically revisionist account of the origins and nature of evil under the rubric of das Nichtige. Closely related to it is his concise discussion of the reality and agency of the devil. Barth displaces this topic from its usual place in the doctrine of the angels, contending that whatever the Enemy is it is not a creature of God, but rather a vicious dynamic power fundamentally antithetical to both God and God’s good creation. But how to think and speak Christianly of such a ‘third’ factor in the drama of salvation at all? This chapter explores Barth’s treatment of evil’s epitome and reflects upon how this theme raises important questions concerning the nature and limits of theological reasoning and expression.
Karl Barth and the Tasks of Eschatology
In this volume, leading systematic theologians and New Testament scholars working today undertake a fresh and constructive interdisciplinary engagement with key eschatological themes in Christian theology in close conversation with the work of Karl Barth. Ranging from close exegetical studies of Barth’s treatment of eschatological themes in his commentary on Romans or lectures on 1 Corinthians, to examination of his mature dogmatic discussions of death and evil, this volume offers a fascinating variety of insights into both Barth’s theology and its legacy, as well as the eschatological dimensions of the biblical witness and its salience for both the academy and church.
Contributors are: John M. G. Barclay, Douglas Campbell, Christophe Chalamet, Kaitlyn Dugan, Nancy J. Duff, Susan Eastman, Beverly Roberts Gaventa, Grant Macaskill, Kenneth Oakes, Christoph Schwöbel Christiane Tietz, Philip G. Ziegler.
