Karl Barth's commentary on Paul's epistle to the Romans, in its two
editions (1919 and 1922), is one of the most significant works
published in Christian theology in the 20th century. This book,
which landed "like a bombshell on the theologians' playground,"
still deserves close scrutiny one hundred years after its
publication. In this volume, New Testament scholars, philosophers
of religion and systematic theologians ponder the intricacies of
Barth's "expressionistic" commentary, pointing out the ways in
which Barth interprets Paul's epistle for his own day, how this
actualized interpretation of the apostle's message challenged the
theology of Barth's time, and how some of the insights he
articulated in 1919 and in 1922 have shaped Christian theology up
to our day. With his commentary, the young Swiss pastor paved the
way for a renewed, intensely theological interpretation of the
Scriptures. The volume thus centers of some of the key themes which
run through Barth's commentary: faith as divine gift beyond any
human experience or psychological data, the Easter event as the
turning point of the world's history, God's judgment and mercy and
God's one Word in Jesus Christ. This volume represents a major
contribution to the interpretation of Karl Barth's early thought.
