Evangelical Theology: An Introduction

4 reviews
Karl Barth

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1992

definitive, on all accounts!
The book, which was originally a lecture-series, begins with a definition of what "evangelical" theology is. From this point on, Barth elaborates (further) "biblical" definitions -- which is the starting and ending point of all of Barth's theology; the theology of the Prophets and Apostles, of God Himself, as He has made Himself known to His specially-selected "witnesses" throughout history. One ...

Homiletics

Karl Barth

Westminster John Knox Press, 1991

Understanding Sermons
A great book for a lay person to read who is trying to get a handle on how sermons work. Actually a book for the about-to-be-preacher, Karl Barth provides parameters to the form, function and contents of sermons from the perspective of his own theology. For Barth, the best sermon is part of the liturgy - not an aside - serving sacramentally to join the congregation in communion with God's ...

Karl Barth
This is a book which I did not have in my library. It emphasizes his interpretation and outlook as a theologian.

Prayer (50th Anniversary Edition)

5 reviews
Karl Barth

Westminster John Knox Press, 2002

A Window into Communion with God
We know Barth for his massive Church Dogmatics; deep, penetrating, difficult, beautiful, massive, circular in argument, and life-changing. Here we see the spiritual side of Barth; a side not often observed beyond the usual personnas. We are familiar with Barth the theological warrior, writer, dogmatic theologian, family man, university professor, but this book gives the reader a picture of the ...

God Here and Now (Routledge Classics)

Karl Barth

Routledge, 2003

from Routledge
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. This book ...

Dogmatics in Outline

6 reviews
Karl Barth

Harper Perennial, 1959

A faithful framework...
One of the remarkable things about this text is that it is derived from lectures Barth delivered without notes. Reading the text shows the remarkable clarity and insight of a man who had spent a lifetime developing a massive theological system (although Barth himself would hesitate to call his work systematic theology, constrasting his work with Tillich, who explicitly claimed the description ...

The Humanity of God

4 reviews
Karl Barth

Westminster John Knox Press, 1960

God is with us...
Karl Barth insists on an infinite qualitative difference between God and humanity. God is `wholly other', and there is nothing that humankind can do to bridge the gulf; however, God can reach `down' to humanity, and bridge the gulf. This is not something that happens by merit or effort on the part of individuals, but is entirely the grace and gift of God. This is important to understand as part ...

The Epistle to the Romans (Galaxy Books)

7 reviews
Karl Barth

Oxford University Press, USA, 1968

Absolutely essential
Disenchanted with the gluttony of Evangelicalism and angry at its souless theology which I had studied for four years, I happened upon Barth's manifesto and was reborn. The reason I didn't read it in seminary was because the gaping holes in Evangelical theology today roughly equivocate to the same holes prevalent in 19th Century Liberalism: subjectivistic interpretation of Scripture, ...

The Göttingen Dogmatics: Instruction in the Christian Religion
Karl Barth

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1991

In Volume I of Barth's intensely pastoral Gottingen Dogmatics, the author reflects on the Word of God--the Word that is (1) spoken by God in revelation, (2) recorded in holy scripture, and (3) proclaimed and heard in Christian preaching. The other major theme is the doctrine of God.

Fifty Prayers

Westminster John Knox Press, 2008

Fifty Wonderful Communal Prayers
Prayer is one of those subjects that is central to Christian life, but is rather a vague concept. In this book, Karl Barth shares some of his communal prayers from various Sunday services. These prayers can provide a good starting point if your seeking to explore the concept of or to enhance your practice of communal prayer. Btw, read the forward. Barth explains a bit of his own ...

Incredible little book!
This is Barth at his best, and you don't need to wait until you retire to finish it!

The Church And The Churches

1 review
Karl Barth

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2005

A gem on the topic of Christian Unity, a gem that has passed the test of time
This 54 page little booklet, "The Church and the churches" is the speech that famous 20th century theologian, Karl Barth, gave at an international and ecumenical Christian conference in Edinburg Scotland in 1937. This monumnetal meeting was another brick layed at building the Unity that Christ prayed for his Disciples and the Believers in the Gospel according to John chapter 17. I read the ...

Karl Barth

Eerdmans Pub Co, 1986

A Gem!
This is a fine diminutive work by a man who was arguably the giant of the 20th Century Christian theologians, about the man who is arguably the most brilliant of classical composers. What a terrific combination that is! Karl Barth tells us that he began each day with Mozart and he confesses that when he arrives in heaven -- if such a happy lot is his -- that he will first seek out Mozart, ...

Natural Theology

Good but tough
There were many good things said in this book and it was not run on like some can be but it is kind of difficult to read. Gotta love Karl Barth though.
