In recognition of Karl Barth's stature as a theologian and public
figure in the life of Europe and the West, Swiss publisher
Theologischer Verlag Zurich (TVZ) published Conversations, a
collection of correspondence, articles, interviews, and other
short-form writings by Barth. Collected in three volumes,
Conversations reveals the depth and breadth of Barth's theological
thought, as well as his humor and humanity. Now, for the first time
in English, the second of those volumes is offered here. Covering
the year 1963, Volume 2 highlights a period in which Barth was
especially active, particularly in regard to ecumenism and issues
related to the Cold War. Within these pages, scholars and students
will find a comprehensive view into Barth's life and beliefs about
theology and its role in modern society.

According to Eberhard Busch, Karl Barth's theology is
"characterized by being...in constant movement and transformation."
And a Christian's path is marked by self-correction in order to
learn how to live out the same thing again and again in a better
and more appropriate way. Likewise the church, like her God, is
always on the move.

In 1934, during the Nazi regime in Germany, members of the
Confessing Church issued the Declaration of Barmen, which
reaffirmed their primary loyalty to the word of God. With their
action, they established a legacy for future generations to follow
in similar situations.This volume examines the historical,
political, and theological context of the creation of the Barmen
Declaration, as it constituted an act of theological and political
resistance against tyranny, terror, and fascism. The work of the
Barmen Declaration demonstrated clearly and powerfully the
"this-worldly" ethical and political salience of religion and
theology to empower witness, resistance, and solidarity. Containing
contributions from an inclusive array of renowned scholars, the
volume unfolds the lasting legacy and continued relevance of
Barmen.
In 1934 Christian churches in Germany faced strong pressure to
conform their belief and practice to the pillars of Nazi thinking
respect for the authority of the Fhrer and fervent devotion to the
history and culture of the German race. Defying this ideological
agenda, leaders in the German Evangelical Church responded by
adopting the Barmen Declaration. This bold statement of dissent,
grounded in the authority of Scripture, has since become a powerful
model for the contemporary confession of the Christian faith
against modern forms of skepticism and unbelief. In The Barmen
Theses Then and Now Eberhard Busch demonstrates to a new generation
how that key German confession during a specific time of crisis can
guide Christians everywhere today. He interprets each of the six
theses in its original context Nazi Germany and then applies it to
crucial cultural and political challenges facing Christianity in
our time. Eberhard Busch makes an important contribution to our
understanding of the events in Germany that led to the writing of
the Barmen Declaration in 1934 the response of a small group of
Protestants to the emergence of Hitler and the Nazi Party. Even
more importantly, Busch demonstrates the relevance of Barmen for
many issues confronting the church today such issues as the
relation between Christians and Jews, the meaning of Christian
freedom, the church and its mission, the role of the laity, and the
task of the church in the political order. In Buschs able hands
Barmen becomes a living voice that is no less important for the
church today than it was for Christians in the 1930s. George Stroup

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.
Building on the work and legacy of Darrell L. Guder, Converting
Witness: The Future of Christian Mission in the New Millennium
constructively explores key questions and new possibilities in the
field of missiology in light of the context of world Christianity.
The conversation around missional theology and the missional church
sought to address the gap between theology and mission and foster
renewal within North American Christianity, but the growing
consciousness around world Christianity has forced theologians and
missiologists to give greater consideration to global cultural
diversity. Many of the classic categories and methods-such as
church planting, catholicity, and even the term "world
Christianity" itself-are in need of fresh examination and
thoughtful analysis. The contributors to this volume address a
range of important missiological topics, including globalization,
interfaith dialogue, integral mission, intercultural hermeneutics,
and church practices.
Eberhard Buschs grosse Biographie ist nicht nur eine gut lesbare
Darstellung des Lebens von Karl Barth, sondern auch eine Einfuhrung
in dessen umfangreiches Werk. Nachdem es seit einiger Zeit
vergriffen war, ist es nun beim TVZ in unverandertem Nachdruck
wieder erhaltlich. a fur alle wissenschaftliche Beschaftigung mit
Leben und Werk Barths nicht nur unentbehrlich, sondern von gar
nicht hoch genug zu veranschlagender Bedeutung. a Die] Auswahl der
Texte ist so ausgewogen, dass nun wirklich niemand mehr auf einen
so oder so praparierten Barth hereinfallen kann. Eberhard Jungel
Das vorzugliche Buch uber Karl Barth habe ich mit grosser Freude
uber die lebendige Schilderung seines Lebens gelesen. Gustav
Heinemann. a bleibt festzustellen, dass heute kaum eine andere
Publikation so viel Stoff zur Lebensgeschichte Karl Barths und zur
Selbstdeutung des Theologen enthalt wie die Arbeit Eberhard Buschs.
Neue Zurcher Zeitung Bisherige Barth-Biographien werden von diesem
a Buch nicht nur durch dessen weit grossere Ausfuhrlichkeit in den
Schatten gestellt. Jetzt wurde der Nachlass herangezogen und die
Familie hat, ohne sich zu schonen, ihren Beitrag geleistet.

Unter den christlichen Kirchen gibt es auch die reformierten. Was
meint dieser Begriff? Vor dieser Frage werden nicht nur manche
Reformierte verlegen. Dafur gibt es gute Grunde, bezeichnet er doch
eine Kirche, die ein Bund aus einer Fulle von Einzelkirchen ist.
Der Autor geht der Frage nach, was denn nun typisch reformiert ist.
Er wertet dazu alte und neue Bekenntnisse aus verschiedensten
Regionen Europas und der ubrigen Welt aus und untersucht die Frage
an einer Reihe von Themen, die in diesen Kirchen wichtig waren und
sind: Was meint die Rede von dem einen Wort Gottes? Worum geht es
in der Vorstellung von dem einen Bund Gottes? Wie wird das
Verhaltnis von Evangelium und Gesetz verstanden? Wie wird die
christliche Ethik aufgefasst? Was heisst Kirche und was sind die
Amter in ihr? Auch die gute Weisung des Bilderverbots wird
besprochen und das Thema des Verhaltnisses der Kirche zur Politik.
