Karl Barth was an eminently conversational theologian, and with the
Internet revolution, we live today in an eminently conversational
age. Being the proceedings of the 2010 Karl Barth Blog Conference,
Karl Barth in Conversation brings these two factors together in
order to advance the dialogue about Barth's theology and extend the
online conversation to new audiences. With conversation partners
ranging from Wesley to i ek, from Schleiermacher to Jenson, from
Hauerwas to the Coen brothers, this volume opens up exciting new
horizons for exploring Barth's immense contribution to church and
world. The contributors, who represent a young new generation of
academic theologians, bring a fresh perspective to a topic--the
theology of Karl Barth--that often seems to have exhausted its
range of possibilities. This book proves that there is still a
great deal of uncharted territory in the field of Barth studies.
Today, more than forty years since the Swiss theologian's death,
the conversation is as lively as ever. "This book is an exciting
and important contribution to Barth studies. It breaks open the
potential cul-de-sac of Barth scholarship to new conversation
partners and thinkers. The result is a fascinating collection of
essays that brings out new accents on Barth's work and offers
constructive insights for the future of theology. . . . Let us hope
this book sets an agenda for the future." --Tom Greggs, Professor
of Historical and Doctrinal Theology, King's College, University of
Aberdeen, Scotland "In this welcome collection of colorful and
stimulating input from young scholars, we get to eavesdrop on some
new 'conversations' surveying a diverse range of themes, and in the
wake of the fresh questions raised, we are invited to hear again
what Barth and others have heard and misheard." --Jason Goroncy,
Dean of Studies, Knox Centre for Ministry and Leadership, New
Zealand "This is a fascinating and instructive set of essays by a
group of talented young theologians. These studies offer fresh
perspectives on the thought of Barth and his dialogue partners and
suggest new pathways for further exploration. Here we see both the
ongoing power of Barth's theology to stimulate new conversations
and the creative potential of a new generation of Barth scholars."
--Adam Neder, Associate Professor of Theology, Whitworth
