In his intoriduction to Credo, Robert McAffee Brown notes that “the reader has the privilege of disagreeing with Barth. He no longer has the privilege of ignoring him.”

Karl Barth (1886–1968), a Swiss Protestant theologian and pastor, was one of the leading thinkers of twentieth-century theology, described by Pope Pius XII as the most important theologian since Thomas Aquinas. He helped to found the Confessing Church and his thinking formed the theological framework for the Barmen Declaration. He taught in Germany, where he opposed the Nazi regime. In 1935, when he refused to take the oath of allegiance to Adolf Hitler, he was retired from his position at the University of Bonn and deported to Switzerland. There he continued to write and develop his theology.

Barth’s work and influence resulted in the formation of what came to be known as neo-orthodoxy. For Barth, modern theology, with its assent to science, immanent philosophy, and general culture and with its stress on feeling, was marked by indifference to the word of God and to the revelation of God in Jesus, which he thought should be the central concern of theology.

    Spending a few hours in Barth's C/D is like bathing in the sun. Not one word fails to warm the heart. The beauty of having Barth's C/D in logos and many of his more minor works and commentaries upon his work is that one can find any topic quickly. Barth's approach of viewing all scripture as a witness to the word and work of God in Christ Jesus causes him to engage with theologians and philosophers alike, across all ages, past and present. He is relevant to the future of theology and his work is second to none. Therefore, anyone with the time to devote to studying Barth's work will not be disappointed. I speak as someone who has read the C/D in its entirety and never grows tired of engaging with Barth's work in the C/D or his other writings, This logos tool is invaluable.
