This book examines the speculative core of Karl Barth's theology,
reconsidering the relationship between theory and practice in
Barth's thinking. A consequence of this reconsideration is the
recognition that Barth's own account of his theological development
is largely correct. Sigurd Baark draws heavily on the philosophical
tradition of German Idealism, arguing that an important part of
what makes Barth a speculative theologian is the way his thinking
is informed by the nexus of self-consciousness, reason and,
freedom, which was most fully developed by Kant, Fichte, and Hegel.
The book provides a new interpretation of Barth's theology, and
shows how a speculative understanding of theology is useful in
today's intellectual climate.
This book uses Karl Barth’s Der Römerbrief (1922) as
a prism through which to explore the role of religion and its
interactions with cultural and political thought in the turbulent
interwar period in Europe. One of the most influential books in
twentieth-century protestant theology, Der
Römerbrief found Barth arguing that the crisis of the time
was grounded in an even more profound crisis that pertained to the
human condition as such. While much research has been conducted
on Der Römerbrief, most of it has focused on the book’s
explicit theology. The aim of the present volume is to mark the
centenary of this seminal book with a broader investigation into
the movements of thought within Der Römerbrief and its
reception and impact within its cultural and intellectual context.
This broader approach by a range of Northern European researchers
brings attention to interconnections between cultural and
theological movements in times of crisis.
