Karl Barth is known as one of the greatest Christian theologians of modern times. While Barth’s writings are permeated by biblical citations and exegesis, there are only a few examples of Barth’s interpretation of an entire biblical book. In this anniversary edition of The Epistle to the Philippians, Karl Barth’s exposition of the book of Philippians is again made available. Two new introductory essays by Bruce L. McCormack and Francis B. Watson examine the significance of Barth’s theological exegesis of Philippians and introduce Barth’s approach to biblical interpretation.
Karl Barth (1886-1968) was a pastor, an outspoken critic of the rise of the Nazi Party, and Professor of Theology at the University of Basel, Switzerland.
