Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

The savior of humanity was born into an outcast nation of little worldly consequence. In this engaging volume, Reformed theologian Markus Barth investigates the significance of Jesus’ lowly entry into the world and how his Jewish context informs his ministry and teachings.

Using a unique narrative format that tells the story of five days of judgment, Markus Barth digs into Paul’s theology of justification. He pays particularly attention to the apostle’s Old Testament background.

An impressive attempt to breathe new life into the biblical understanding of justification . . . probes to the heart of the Christian faith, and leaves the reader with a profound sense of its joy and triumph.

—Brevard S. Childs, professor of Old Testament, Yale Divinity School

Rediscovering the Lord’s Supper

  • Author: Markus Barth
  • Publisher: Wipf & Stock
  • Publication Date: 2006
  • Pages: 118

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

Following his father’s classic work Church Dogmatics, Markus Barth considers the doctrine of the Lord’s Supper. His work is an exegesis of the Lord’s Supper texts in the Synoptic Gospels, John’s Gospel, and the Pauline letters.

Barth’s perspective sees the Lord’s Supper and its accompanying agape meal as a symbolic event that allows God’s people to commune in an atmosphere that remains open to all, including the Jews, whose Passover continues to shed light on this sacrament.

His presentation covers the Lord’s Supper, Passover, the relationship of Christians and Jews, and the participation of children in communion. He challenges the definitions of baptism, Eucharist, and ministry as expressed in the Lima Document, offering one of the most sharply stated alternatives available. Barth reexamines the Lord’s Supper as a symbol of ecumenism—the opportunity for all God’s people to celebrate together. This approach makes an important ecumenical contribution to understanding the Lord’s Supper from a New Testament perspective.

The People of God

  • Author: Markus Barth
  • Publisher: Wipf & Stock
  • Publication Date: 2006
  • Pages: 102

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

Markus Barth combines passion and scholarship in this summons to a recognition of the brotherhood of Jews and Christians. Barth discusses both the current theological climate and the biblical basis—in particular the writings of Paul—on which a true doctrine of the “people of God” should be built. He calls for a new relationship characterized by frank and honest criticism, but especially by fraternal love.

Israel and the Church: Contribution To A Dialogue Vital For Peace

  • Author: Markus Barth
  • Publisher: Wipf & Stock
  • Publication Date: 2005
  • Pages: 132

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

In Israel and the Church, Markus Barth renews the conversation between those who still wait for the Messiah and those who believe in Jesus Christ. Israel and the church are both brothers and strangers—but Markus Barth shows that they can share their faith in the one living God and help each other in the adversities of this world.

In the first of three sections, the author poses this question: what can a Jew believe about Jesus and remain a Jew? The Apostle Paul’s reputed anti-Semitism is examined next. Dr. Barth does not criticize the image of Paul in Jewish literature, but points out that the trouble lies in the Christian understanding of Paul rather than in Paul himself, or in Jewish interpretation. Finally, the author deals with Israel and the church in Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. He shows how Ephesians can throw light on the problems of Christian usage of the Old Testament, the mission to the Jews, and Christian responsibility in regard to any hidden or manifest anti-Semitism.
