Living through an apocalyptic time, Swiss theologian Karl Barth
influenced Christianity in the twentieth century profoundly. He
publicly rejected Hitler's Nazism, advocated on behalf of workers
and laborers, and ministered to prisoners. Barth was named by Pope
Pius XII as "the greatest theologian since Thomas Aquinas" and in
1962 even appeared on the cover of Time magazine. In Fully Alive,
one of America's best and most provocative theologians, Stanley
Hauerwas, demonstrates that Barth's radical theological perspective
is particularly relevant and applicable to the challenges of our
own time. Hauerwas argues that Barth's engagements with the social
and political struggles of his day can help us see what it means to
be fully human in the twenty-first century. The ecclesiastical and
the political were inseparable for Barth; similarly, Hauerwas shows
why it is crucial for theological claims to produce insights that
make it possible for our lives to be well lived. Including chapters
on race, disability, and the church in Asia, Hauerwas shows how
Barth's political theology can be read as a training manual that
can help us maintain our humanity in a world in crisis.
