The thought of Karl Barth has undergone a remarkable renewal of interest in recent decades. Joseph Mangina’s Karl Barth: Theologian of Christian Witness offers a concise, accessible guide to this important Christian thinker. Unique among introductions to Barth, it also highlights his significance for Christian ecumenism and brings his views into conversation with other contemporary theologians.
Christian Century (November 29, 2005) “One could not ask for a better text to introduce theology students to Barth’s work, and even for the well-versed Barth reader, Mangina’s presentation is fresh, astute, and appealing.” –Jonathan Tran, doctoral student at Duke University
