Karl Barth

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 spiritual pages. Specimen sermons are added.

Der Ausbruch des Weltkriegs 1914 bedeutete fur Karl Barth ein doppeltes Irrewerden an der Theologie seiner Lehrer, die durch ihre Identifizierung mit der Kriegspolitik Wilhelms II. unglaubwurdig geworden waren, und ebenso am europaischen Sozialismus, der uberall in die nationale Kriegsfronten eingeschwenkt war. So wurde Barth auf den Weg einer leidenschaftlichen Suche nach neuen, tragfahigen theologischen Grundlagen und nach einem neuen Verstandnis der politischen Verantwortung gedrangt. Der vorliegende Band dokumentiert die Wegmarken dieser Suche und macht so die Ursprunge, die Motive und Intentionen der Entscheidungen verstandlich, die mit der Dialektischen Theologie Epoche machten und die Theologie des 20. Jahrhunderts entscheidend pragten.

Karl Barth was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century. Pope Pius XI called him the greatest theologian since Saint Thomas Aquinas. But he was also a popular preacher in Basel and the author of the formidable Church Dogmatics had a lighter touch as well. This is revealed in this enchanting collection of fragments. Not only do they capture the gaiety and gravity of Barth in a simple and homely style; they also contain, in a delightfully digestible form, the essence of what he had to say about the Bible, theology, and the task of Christians in the modern world.

Karl Barth's Table Talk is a collection of informal conversations and reflections by the renowned Swiss theologian, Karl Barth. The book offers readers a unique glimpse into the mind of one of the most influential Christian thinkers of the 20th century, as he discusses a wide range of topics, from theology and philosophy to politics and culture. The conversations were recorded by Barth's friend and colleague, Eberhard Busch, over the course of several years, and provide an intimate portrait of Barth's personality, humor, and intellectual curiosity. The book also includes a biographical introduction by Busch, which provides context for the conversations and sheds light on Barth's life and work. Throughout the book, Barth offers his insights on a variety of theological issues, including the nature of God, the role of the Bible in Christian life, and the relationship between faith and reason. He also discusses his views on politics, ethics, and social justice, and reflects on his own personal experiences as a theologian and pastor. Written in a conversational style, Karl Barth's Table Talk is an accessible and engaging read for anyone interested in theology, philosophy, or Christian thought. It offers a rare opportunity to hear directly from one of the most important voices in modern Christian theology, and to gain a deeper understanding of his ideas and perspectives.

This is a newly created General Index for the 2009 "Study Edition of the Church Dogmatics". Karl Barth's "Church Dogmatics" is one of the major theological works of the 20th century. The Swiss-German theologian Karl Barth (1886-1968) was the most original and significant Reformed theologian of the twentieth century. Barth began the "Church Dogmatics" in 1932 and continued working on its thirteen volumes until the end of his life. Barth's writings continue to guide and instruct the preaching and teaching of pastors and academics worldwide. This General Index was created afresh for the new "Study Edition of the Church Dogmatics". "Church Dogmatics", assembled in 14 volumes, represents the pinnacle of Karl Barth's theological achievement - one of the most significant and clearly-reasoned expressions of theology of all time. It is available in hardcover and paperback (since January 2004).

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.

Karl Barths zweite, vollig neu geschriebene Fassung der Auslegung des Romerbriefs ist das Grundungsdokument der Dialektischen Theologie. Sie hat eine neue Epoche eingeleitet: eine Theologie in der Moderne. Hatte die erste Fassung von 1919 noch durch das Historische hindurchsehen wollen in den Geist der Bibel, so will die 1922 geschriebene zweite Fassung konsequent bis zu dem Punkt vorstossen, wo ich nahezu nur noch vor dem Ratsel der Sache, nahezu nicht mehr vor dem Ratsel der historischen Urkunde als solcher stehe. Die Edition dieses klassischen Werks in der Karl Barth-Gesamtausgabe bietet neben einem textkritischen Vergleich der Auflagen von 1922 und 1923 Erlauterungen zu den theologiegeschichtlichen, literarischen, historischen und zeitgeschichtlichen Anspielungen.

Karl Barth (1886-1968) studierte Theologie in Bern, Berlin, Tubingen, Marburg und war von 1909 bis 1921 Pfarrer in Genf und Safenwil. Mit seiner Auslegung des Romerbriefes (1919, 1922) begann eine neue Epoche der evangelischen Theologie. Dieses radikale Buch trug ihm einen Ruf als Honorarprofessor nach Gottingen ein, spater wurde er Ordinarius in Munster und Bonn. Er war Mitherausgeber von Zwischen den Zeiten (1923-1933), der Zeitschrift der Dialektischen Theologie. Karl Barth war der Autor der Barmer Theologischen Erklarung und Kopf des Widerstands gegen die Gleichschaltung der Kirchen durch den Nationalsozialismus. 1935 wurde Barth von der Bonner Universitat wegen Verweigerung des bedingungslosen Fuhrereids entlassen. Er bekam sofort eine Professur in Basel, blieb aber mit der Bekennenden Kirche in enger Verbindung. Sein Hauptwerk, Die Kirchliche Dogmatik, ist die bedeutendste systematisch-theologische Leistung des 20. Jahrhunderts.
