"This distinguished collection of studies presents Barth's theology
as an attempt to discern what it means to be orthodox under the
conditions of modernity, most of all, after the dissolution of the
long-standing pact between Christian theology and classical
metaphysics and epistemology. Each essay is a model of lucidity as
well as wide learning and discriminating intelligence. McCormack
moves with consummate ease and authority through the development of
modern theology and the substance of Christian dogmatics. This is a
book of rare historical and theological penetration from a
commanding figure in Barth scholarship."--John Webster, chair of
systematic theology, King's College, University of Aberdeen
"This collection of essays represents another major contribution
from Bruce McCormack to our understanding of Barth. Typically
rigorous, imaginative, and forceful, it provides frequent insight
into Barth's massive theological output. McCormack shows how
Barth's work continues to assail those in the church and the
academy who search for a strong theology that remains alert to the
ongoing problems and challenges of modernity. This volume will
quickly become a standard point of reference for subsequent work in
the field."--David Fergusson, professor of divinity, University of
Edinburgh
"Bruce McCormack has spent the last decade and a half quietly
developing what may be the most theologically provocative and
historically self-conscious research program on offer today, the
fruits of which have been gathered together in this welcome volume.
I imagine that we will be discussing these essays for years to
come, especially now that this volume brings them to a deservedly
wider audience."--KevinW. Hector, assistant professor of theology
and the philosophy of religion, University of Chicago Divinity
School
"With this powerful collection of essays, Bruce McCormack
secures his reputation as one of the most exciting theologians in
North America today. Uncompromising yet balanced in its
interpretative judgments, fascinated by Barth's dogmatic ingenuity,
and forward-looking in its constructive gestures, this excellent
book will gain a diverse and thankful readership."--Paul Dafydd
Jones, assistant professor of Western religious thought, University
of Virginia
