Description

From one of the greatest systematic theologians of the 20th century and with a brand new preface, this book provides a clear and authoritative introduction to the main themes in Barth's theology. In an accessible way, it shows the continuity and coherence of Barth's work and stresses the importance of his biblical and ethical writings alongside his systematic theology. Here, Webster focuses on Barth's response to modernity, postmodernity and the tasks of theology, presenting him as an outstanding resource for constructive theology in our age.

Karl Barth is perhaps the most important Protestant theologian since Schleiermacher. A lifetime of work produced a huge and complex body of writings that emerged from both his theological teaching and from his engagement in church life. In this book, John Webster guides you through the writings of this ecclesial, engaged, culturally and politically alert theologian.
