Widely regarded as the twentieth century's greatest theologian,
Karth Barth refocused the task of Christian theology and
demonstrated its relevance to every domain of human life, from the
spiritual to the social to the political. It is precisely the broad
sweep of Barth's theology that makes a book like The Great Passion
of such great value -- a succinct yet comprehensive introduction to
Barth's entire theological program. Of the many people who write on
the life and thought of Karl Barth, Eberhard Busch is uniquely
placed. A world-renowned expert on Barth's theology, he also served
as Barth's personal assistant from 1965 to 1968. As Busch explains,
one cannot fully understand Barth the theologian apart from
understanding Barth the man. In this book he weaves doctrine and
biography into a superb presentation of Barth's complete work.
Busch's purpose in this introduction is to guide readers through
the main themes of the multivolume Church Dogmatics against the
horizon of our own times and problems. In ten sections Busch
clearly explains Barth's views on all of the major subject areas of
systematic theology: the nature of revelation, Israel and
Christology, the Trinity and the doctrine of predestination, the
-problem- of religion, gospel and law, creation, salvation, the
Holy Spirit, ecclesiology, and eschatology. A distinctive feature
of the book is the way Busch lets Barth speak for himself, often
through surprising quotations and paraphrases. Busch also shows how
Barth's writing should be read as a dialogue, constantly and
consciously engaging other voices past and present, both inside and
outside the church. Most important, The Great Passion demonstrates
that Barth's thought is still remarkably helpful today.
