Synopsis

Karl Barth's monumental work, Church Dogmatics, is recognized as a landmark in Protestant theology--perhaps the most important work of this century. However, the size range of its fourteen volumes has meant that its content and significance may not be so widely known or appreciated as it deserves. In this concise introduction, Helmut Gollwitzer provides a selection of some of the most important passages from Church Dogmatics to help the busy student explore the heart of the great work; or perhaps to direct a student to parts of the Dogmatics of greatest interest.

About this title

Review:

'He undoubtedly is one of the giants in the history of theology.' Christianity Today; 'Church Dogmatics IV surely constitutes the most powerful work on the doctrine of atoning reconciliation ever written.' Thomas F. Torrance; 'Not only in Barth's sermons, where one would expect it, but in the Dogmatics as well, there are countless passages that breathe the most positive kind of affirmation of the goodness and wonder and power of God's overwhelming love.' Robert McAfee Brown; 'Anyone who wants to think through substantive theological issues in relation to the pressing issues of contemporary society could find no better guide than Karl Barth.' Deborah van Deusen Hunsinger
