“An important feature of this booklet is the inclusion of two contrasting sermons by Barth—the ‘monster of a full scale Titanic sermon’ of 1912, and the sermon of Christ’s walking on the lake of 1934. In different ways these dealt with disasters, the unfortunate disaster of 1912, and the far more serious disaster of rising Hitlerism in 1934. How did it come about that the approaches were so very different? A simple answer lies in Barth’s threefold development of the doctrine of God’s word. . . . The 1912 sermon fails by all these standards. The 1934 sermon passes, and proves to be a more powerful response to the current situation.”
