- Abstract
- In the Scripture, God is revealed as a being who is a counterpart [Gegenüber], within himself between the Father and the Son in the Spirit, and with Man throughout covenant history; according to a Trinitarian analogia relationis, the human being, also, is and is called to be a counterpart [Gegenüber], with God and with his fellow human, in particular of the other sex. It is from this hypothesis that this research, centred on the third volume of Karl Barth's Dogmatics, revisits the theological foundations of man-woman relationship. Revealed as a work of the Father in the creation of man and woman as counterparts, as a work of the reconciling Son in the relationship between Jesus and his community, and as a work of the liberating Spirit in the response of Man here and now, this analogy of relationship sheds decisive light on Barthian anthropology and ethics concerning man and woman. If, from the beginning and throughout history, the interpretation of the difference between the sexes and of the relationship it implies, appears corrupted by sin, this analogia relationis reveals that man and woman as counterparts remains, after all, a gift and a promise of the Triune God entrusted to the freedom and responsibility of each human being. Understood as a divine pedagogy, this Trinitarian analogy makes it possible, in the light of the questions raised by the feminist movement, the civil recognition of same-sax marriage and the struggle against gender stereotypes, to unveil the rich anthropology and ethical promises of the Word that God addresses, still today, to every human without exception.
