Karl Barth’s Church Dogmatics for Everyone (2 vols.)

Karl Barth’s Church Dogmatics is considered by many to be the most important theological work of the twentieth century and for many people reading it, or at least understanding it contents and arguments, is a lifelong goal. Yet its enormous size, at over 12,000 pages (in English translations) and enough print volumes to fill an entire shelf, make reading it a daunting prospect for seasoned theologians and novices alike. Each volume features the voices of authors from different academic disciplines who contribute brief reflections on the value of Church Dogmatics for creative discovery in their disciplines.

Each section contains insights for pastors, new theologians, professionals, and ordinary people including:

• Summaries of the section
• Contextual considerations
• And other visually informative features that reinforce the main points of the Barth’s thought

In addition, each volume features the voices of authors from different academic disciplines who contribute brief reflections on the value of Church Dogmatics for creative discovery in their disciplines. Reflections include:
