This revised edition of John Webster's masterly Karl Barth offers an insightful introduction into the thought of the twentieth century's greatest theologian. Barth's lifetime of work produced a huge and complex body of writings. The posthumous publication of much of his work has invited fresh and attentive interpretations of his thought. This book draws together these readings to provide a clear and authoritative introduction to the main themes of Barth's theology. The closing chapter with its focus on Barth's relationship to modernity, postmodernity, and the tasks of theology will be especially useful to students.
