The Sermon on the Mount is often considered a model for the moral
and religious conduct of man. Such an interpretation defrauds the
Sermon of its real meaning, according to Eduard Thurneysen, and
results in a futile legalistic attempt to fulfill the Sermon's
commands. Dr. Thurneysen insists that the Sermon on the Mount must
be understood in terms of gospel and nothing but gospel. It is to
be read with eyes directed only to Jesus and not to the problems of
life as such. Then the problems will be set in true perspective,
too. He further asserts that the Sermon is gospel in the form of
law. Each "thou shalt" is the future promise--"you will"--because
you have received the promise of the coming kingdom. The gospel
demands obedience, but it is always the obedience of disobedient
man--an obedience on the basis of grace.

Synopsis: "These sermons were prepared from 1920 to 1924. Professor
Barth preached some of them while he was minister of the Reformed
congregation in Safenwil, Canton Aargau, Switzerland; others in the
Reformed Church in Goettingen while he was professor of theology in
the University. Pastor Thurneysen at that time preached to the
congregation in Bruggen, near St. Gall, Switzerland. The sermons
were written not for special occasions but for the regular Sunday
morning service, and were addressed to such men and women as one
will find in any village or city church--to men and women in the
struggle for life, waiting and seeking for God. "Pastor Thurneysen
selected the sermons and arranged them according to a scheme that
may be indicated by the words Promise, Christ, Christian Living."
--from the Translator's Preface Author Biography: Karl Barth
(1886-1968) the Swiss Reformed professor and pastor, was once
described by Pope Pius XII as the most important theologian since
Thomas Aquinas. As principal author of The Barmen Declaration, he
was the intellectual leader of the German Confessing Church--the
Protestant group that resisted the Third Reich. Barth's teaching
career spanned nearly ve decades. Removed from his post at Bonn by
the Nazis in late 1934, Barth moved to Basel where he taught until
1962. Among Barth's many books, sermons, and essays are the Epistle
to the Romans, Humanity of God, Evangelical Theology, and Church
Dogmatics. Eduard Thurneysen (1888-1974) was a pastor in a Swiss
town near where Barth was pastor, and they worked out dialectical
theology together. He was later Professor of Theology at Zurich.
