The thought of Karl Barth (1886-1968) has undergone a remarkable
renewal of interest in the past twenty years. Joseph Mangina's Karl
Barth: Theologian of Christian Witness offers a concise, accessible
guide to this important Christian thinker. Uniquely among
introductions to Barth, it also highlights his significance for
Christian ecumenism. The first chapter describes Barth's
extraordinary life, from his youthful break with liberalism during
the First World War, to his mature theology in the Church
Dogmatics. Subsequent chapters offer a detailed reading of this
magisterial work, and place Barth in dialogue with five
contemporary thinkers: George Lindbeck on revelation, Michael
Wyschogrod on election, Stanley Hauerwas on creation, Robert Jenson
on reconciliation, and Henri de Lubac on the church. These
ecumenical conversations not only set Barth's thinking in greater
relief, but serve to demonstrate its continuing theological
fruitfulness. The book concludes by examining Barth's wider
significance for the church in our time.
