Containing a fragment left unfinished from then night he died, the five brief pieces collected here represent the final words prepared by Karl Barth for publication during his final months. He writes: “The last word that I have to say as a theologian or politician is not a concept like grace but a name: Jesus Christ. He is grace and he is the ultimate one beyond world and church and even theology. We cannot lay hold of him. But we have to do with him. . . . There is no salvation but in this name. In him is grace.”
