This really is a readable, accessible introduction that takes account of some of the most recent Barth scholarship. "It is highly recommended for those coming to Barth's work for the first time." Oliver D. Crisp, Reader in Theology, University of Bristol D. Densil Morgan makes Barth's often complex, rich and provocative thinking accessible to a wide audience. He provides an introduction to the daunting, multi volume The Church Dogmatics, sketches the central themes of Barth's work and familiarizes the reader with the way Barth approached theological issues.
