Full index to the Church Dogmatics series, and Aids to the Preacher
being exegetical selections from the Church Dogmatics to illuminate
the Christian year.
Barth stands before us as the greatest theologian of the twentieth
century, yet the massive corpus of work which he left behind, the
multi volume Church Dogmatics, can seem daunting and formidable to
readers today. Fortunately his Dogmatics in Outline first published
in English in 1949, contains in brilliantly concentrated form even
in shorthand, the essential tenets of his thinking. Built around
the assertions made in the Apostles Creed the book consists of a
series of reflections on the foundation stones of Christian
doctrine. Because Dogmatics in Outline derives from very particular
circumstances namely the lectures Barth gave in war-shattered
Germany in 1946, it has an urgency and a compassion which lend the
text a powerful simplicity. Despite its brevity the book makes a
tremendous impact, which in this new edition will now be felt by a
fresh generation of readers.
Described by Pope Pius XII as the most important theologian since
Thomas Aquinas, the Swiss pastor and theologian, Karl Barth,
continues to be a major influence on students, scholars and
preachers today. Barth's theology found its expression mainly
through his closely reasoned fourteen-part magnum opus, Die
Kirchliche Dogmatik. Having taken over 30 years to write, the
Church Dogmatics is regarded as one of the most important
theological works of all time, and represents the pinnacle of
Barth's achievement as a theologian.
Dr Barth's exposition of Philippians, first published in German in
1927, was not available inBnglish before this translation by Dr
James Leitch. It has important differences in procedure from the
famous Romans, and should not be missed by any student of Dr
Barth's development. The commentary is also of interest as having
been written primarily for the non-theologian. It is intelligible
without a knowledge of Greek, although it has insights for the New
Testament specialist. Like the Epistle of joy itself, Dr Barth's
Philippians reflects the concern of a pastor that ordinary
Christians should set their priorities right.

One of the most important texts for understanding the early work of
Karl Barth.
Karl Barth, one of the most important theologians of the twentieth
century, offers a concise and comprehensive theological reading of
Paul's Letter to the Romans.
Against the Stream? offers a timeless selection of some of Karl
Barth's most important shorter essays and sermons from the period
immediately following the Second World War.
This is a brand new edition of Karl Barth's seminal essays, first
published in 1924. This classic volume of Barth's essays was first
published in 1924 under the title "Das Wort Gottes und die
Theologie". In this brand new English edition all the critical
apparatus is translated, each chapter including an explanatory
passage giving general historical context and details of Barth's
own biography. These essays represent the very best of Barth's
work. Far from being superceded by the "Church Dogmatics", indeed,
a thorough understanding of the "Church Dogmatics" must presuppose
a close knowledge of them. The style is vivid, deeply engaged and
engaging, often expressionistic (making frequent use of irony and
hyperbole). Peter Gay described Weimar culture as a 'dance on the
edge of a volcano'. If so, then it was essays like these that
provided the music.
The rise of Islamic radicalism has led to heated discussions about
how best to address the threat of religious terror. Disputes
covering the right and wrong of war with Iraq, and the even bigger
war on terrorism, continue to rage across America. But this is not
the first argument of this nature-America was faced with a similar
moral dilemma on the eve of World War II. Fascism was conquering
Europe, and religious leaders across the nation vehemently debated
how to confront Nazi Germany. In The End of Illusions: Religious
Leaders Confront Hitler's Gathering Storm, Joseph Loconte brings
together pieces from the most significant religious thinkers of the
pre-war period. In these essays, the writers eloquently and
passionately present their arguments for going to war or
maintaining the peace. In doing so, they explore issues vibrantly
relevant today, including the Christian cause for war, the problem
of evil, and America's role in the world. These urgently written
pieces connect the past with the present and resonate with renewed
clarity and poignancy.
In a Preface, Professor James S. Stewart, Moderator of the General
Assembly of the Church of Scotland, writes: This little book
demonstrates wonderfully Barth's characteristic union of simplicity
and profundity. Certainly there is in these pages a Word from the
Lord for the revitalizing of the Church.' The book is based on two
series of informal lectures, published in the USA as Prayer and The
Preaching of the Gospel. The first series studied Christian prayer,
and particularly the Lord's Prayer as interpreted by Luther and
Calvin. The second series ventured into the field of practical
theology, discussing the essential characteristics of preaching and
how to prepare a sermon. Here one who is mighty in the pulpit shows
preachers that they must trust in Scripture itself; and lays bare
his own attitude to the humbling but possible task of proclaiming
the Word of God. Even Christians not responsible for composing
sermons are responsible for hearing God through them, and they,
too, will be helped by these intimately vpiiitual pages. Specimen
sermons ore added.
Karl Barth was, without doubt, one of the most significant
religious thinkers of modern times. His radical affirmation of the
revealed truth of Christianity changed the course of Christian
theology in the twentieth century and is a source of inspiration
for countless believers. Pope Pius XII declared that there had been
nothing like Karl Barth's later thought since Thomas Aquinas. God
Here and Now offers a succinct and accessible overview of that
thought. In it, Barth outlines his position on the fundamental
tenets of Christian belief, from the decision of faith to the
authority of the Bible, and from the interpretation of grace to the
significance of Jesus Christ. In this way Barth challenges each and
every reader to discover what it means to encounter God, here and
now.
