Publisher's Description

This book takes us behind prison bars--to hear powerful, simple, direct sermons by the man widely known as the twentieth century's most influential theologian. Originally delivered to inmates of the prison in Basel, Switzerland, these sermons shine with Karl Barth's thought and exaltation of the living Christ. Including sermons on the great feasts of the Christian year such as Christmas and Easter, Deliverance to the Captives offers new hope powerfully phrased, and a wide entry into the thought of a supreme theologian.

“It has been Barth's work to turn the Christian field with a resharpened plow. These sermons' dominant note is of hope, of joy in the Lord, of an ardor that can assert, concerning faith, that 'no human being has ever prayed for this in vain.'”

John Updike
