The Word of Christ and the World of Culture

Theology

“Karl Barth is nothing less than a 'neo-orthodox' theologian. His theology is specifically modern. It contains a normative theological theory of modern culture that is based on a differentiated 'synthesis' of the sacred and the secular. Paul Metzger's very clear book demonstrates convincingly that this central insight can lead to a general interpretation of Barth's dogmatic theology. I especially recommend this book to readers who want to know what the work of the great Swiss theologian has to offer to Christianity today.”
