How to Read Karl Barth: The Shape of His Theology


Description

This perceptive study of the Protestant theologian Karl Barth decodes the most cryptic and elusive patterns of Barth's dialectic. Hunsinger here advances a new and authoritative interpretation of barth's mature theology, and places Barth's work in relation to contemporary discussions of truth, justified belief, double agency, and religious pluralism. Offering a fresh reading of the Church Dogmatics, Hunsinger uncovers a series of thought-forms that pervade and underlie Barth's work.

"This is the fifth and final installment of William Loader's authoritative, acclaimed series on attitudes toward sexuality in the ancient world." Sexual themes are never far beneath the surface where there are human beings. This was certainly the case for Christians in the first-century world.

Broad-ranging and thorough, this book engages both the biblical texts and the diverse ways in which they have been interpreted.
