Reading Karl Barth  (English, Paperback, Richardson Kurt Anders)

For evangelicals still skittish about Karl Barth's place in modern theology, Kurt Anders Richardson provides both an assessment of the influence Barth has exercised and a proposal as to how his work can be used as contemporary theology moves through and beyond him. Reading Karl Barth introduces Barth's continuing influence and provides an understanding of the recent development of theology in America.

This approachable introduction will be enjoyed by pastors, church leaders, and thoughtful laypeople who want to reflect on Barth's influence and theology.
