The Swiss theologian Karl Barth (1886-1968) was one of the greatest theologians of the twentieth century. This book shows how German and European history of that century--the First World War, the rise of Hitler, the German church struggle--resonates in the theological work of Barth. He opposed National Socialism and criticized the naturalness with which the West got carried away in the Cold War rhetoric after the Second World War. A beautiful, accessible overview work for anyone who wants to get to know Barth better.

Reviews for Cognitive Science and the Human Body - R on Christology, Anthropology

While the extreme Right seized power in Europe during the twentieth century, Karl Barth trained the church to resist fascist fake news. Karel Blei follows his courageous way from the twenties to the sixties and opens a fascinating panorama of theology in battle dress. --Maarten den Dulk, Professor emeritus of Practical Theology, Protestant Theological University, Netherlands A reader who wants to acquire an overview of Karl Barth's theology in the whole of its development--presented against the background of the turbulent times of its arising, well informed but not interrupted by scholarly debates--will find an excellent guide in Karel Blei. --Rinse H. Reeling Brouwer, Miskotte/Breukelman Chair for Theological Hermeneutics, Protestant Theological University, Amsterdam
