Reviews

'... Resch successfully illustrates ways that Barth's thinking on the virgin birth remains both broadly Augustinian insofar as the doctrine relates to that of original sin, and radically revisionist insofar as Barth departs from Augustine's interpretation of the virgin birth as that which mysteriously preserves Christ from the tainting effects of concupiscence and original sin...' Journal of Theological Studies '... a valuable book on Barth and an excellent contribution to the interpretation of the doctrine of the virgin birth.' Religious Studies Review 'This is a rigorous and stimulating study. It makes for excellent ... reflection and, as a bonus, it is a wonderful entry into some crucial themes in Barth's thought such as his theological method, his overall Christology, his pneumatology, and his conception of human agency.' Themelios '... well-reasoned, well-presented, well-argued ... even the unbelieving should read this volume, for in it and from it they will learn much- both of the doctrine of the virgin birth and the theology of Karl Barth.' Barth Studies
