Karl Barth: Theologian of Freedom
Ranked by many among the great theologians
of church history, Karl Barth was the
leading European theologian in the first
half of this century. His 1919
Romans signaled the end of the
nineteenth
century liberal theology, and his Church
Dogmatics reconstructed Christian
doctrine in a way that was both classical
and modern. A champion of the freedom of
the Christian community, Barth's theology
links "the Bible and the newspaper,"
Christian doctrine with the ethical issues
of politics and economics, justice and
peace. This volume concentrates on the key
texts and ideas in Barth's thought. It
presents the essential Barth for students
and the general reader. Clifford Green's
introductory essay and comments on the
selected texts set Barth in his historical
context, chart the development of his
thought and indicate the significance of his
theology in the development of Christian
theology as a whole. Substantial selections
from Barth's work illustrate key themes:
- Barth's critique of liberal theology
- The Romans commentary and the Anselm study
- Revelation and biblical theology versus natural theology
- Christology, election, creation, reconciliation, the church
- Christian ethics; the church and public life
- Socialism; resistance to Nazism; the church as peacemaker
