“The breadth and intensity of Barth's commitment to the exegetical mainsprings of Christian faith and thought generally, and of doctrine in particular, are well honored and well served by this fine volume. As these essays make clear in all their incisiveness and insight, read well, Barth's theology continues to invite us to return again and again to dwell in the 'strange new world of the Bible.'”
