From the beginning of his career, Swiss theologian Karl Barth
(1886-1968) was often in conflict with the spirit of his times.
While during the First World War German poets and philosophers
became intoxicated by the experience of community and
transcendence, Barth fought against all attempts to locate the
divine in culture or individual sentiment. This freed him for a
deep worldly engagement: he was known as "the red pastor," was the
primary author of the founding document of the Confessing Church,
the Barmen Theological Declaration, and after 1945 protested the
rearmament of the Federal Republic of Germany. Christiane Tietz
compellingly explores the interactions between Barth's personal and
political biography and his theology. Numerous newly-available
documents offer insight into the lesser-known sides of Barth such
as his long-term three-way relationship with his wife Nelly and his
colleague Charlotte von Kirschbaum. This is an evocative portrait
of a theologian who described himself as "God's cheerful partisan,"
who was honored as a prophet and a genial spirit, was feared as a
critic, and shaped the theology of an entire century as no other
thinker.
