Reviews
'This volume is a welcome resource for both teachers and students of KarlBarth's theology. Michael Allen's well-chosen excerpts from the ChurchDogmatics are lengthy enough to provide a feel for Barth's sprawlingtheological discourse and wide-ranging enough to provide anappreciation of the full scope of his dogmatic thought. Theintroduction and notes locate Barth's work within the context ofclassical and modern divinity and direct readers to the best English-languageliterature on the Basel theologian. Those who have heretofore feared theprospect of exploring Karl Barth's massive Church Dogmatics may nowtake courage thanks to Allen's able guidance.' - Scott R. Swain, ReformedTheological Seminary, USA.--,
