Acknowledged him in my last post- and excited to find this blog!

Thanks for posting this. It’s very timely too as I’ve been thinking about writing a piece on the notion of power in the church. Good ol’ Uncle Karl always puts it so well.

Reading Evangelical Theology would give you a great taste of Barth’s thought on theology if you wanted to read one of Barth’s works from cover to cover. On the other hand, if you want to read something shorter that would give you a sense of his broad interests, engaging writing style and challenging insights the book I reviewed here, Insights, would be a good place to start. Because they are just excerpts, however, you won’t get a full sense for any of the works from which they are taken – in anything, I think it will make you want to read more. Hope that helps.

It is a great read and he tries to cast a vision for what evangelical theology should be. It is well worth the time and effort.

I’ve not read him before and am a neophyte as far as theology is concerned.

What would you suggest?
