Karl Barth

Karl Barth (1886-1968) is widely acknowledged as the greatest theologian of the twentieth century and is also shown in this book to be a profoundly political thinker. Though he wrote more than any other twentieth century theologian, he did not confine himself within an academic ivory tower but engaged fully in the social and political ideas and realities of life that were current throughout his life. Dr Gorringe explores this wealth of material and shows how it is related to the events of the twentieth century.
