Over the past 20 years, studies on Karl Barth have become increasingly technical. The result is that although Barth wrote chiefly for preachers, scholars have become the primary gamekeepers to Barth’s rich theological thought.

This book contains a collection of essays which introduce Barth with clarity and depth. It also provides ministers and other serious readers with an overview of Barth’s views on Scripture.

Ten distinguished scholars cover such topics as Barth’s belief that Scripture is both reliable and inspired, his typological exegesis, his ideas about time and eternity and more. Aims to whet the reader’s appetite to read and engage with Barth further.

Contributors include John Webster, George Hunsinger and Robert McAfee Brown.
