The Early Barth - Lectures and Shorter Works

Karl Barth

Karl Barth was the most influential theologian of the twentieth century, and his work continues to inspire both fresh theological thinking and critical debate. The period covered by the volumes in this series--1905 to 1933--saw Barth emerge from his training under such theological giants as Adolph von Harnack and Wilhelm Herrmann; assert his rejection of liberal Protestant theology in his towering commentary on Romans; and work through an earlier uncertainty to become a critic on theological grounds of the rise of Nazism. These volumes contain essays, lectures, academic papers, correspondences, editorials, and other writings that were not previously translated into English and that provide insight into the development of Barth's theology during this crucial period of his life.

Volume 2 of The Early Barth--Lectures and Shorter Works covers the period in Barth's career when he served as a pastor, first in Geneva and then in Safenwil, and up through the point where his theology takes a decisive turn in response to the outbreak of the First World War.
