In the Highest Degree: Volume One

Theology

“I really like Brazier’s historically contextual style! He gives us prominent aspects of Lewis’ thinking as they emerge within the failures, criticisms, and hardships that confront and mold this extraordinary twentieth-century philosopher-theologian. Whether it be in the integral relationships of reason and revelation, the Bible and the Word, humanity and divinity, preeminent by Brazier’s clear analysis is Lewis’ consistent ordering of thought from the unique reference point of Jesus Christ, the God who descends to re-ascend.”

Karl Barth

History & Biography

“In this warm introduction Mark Galli succinctly captures Barth’s brilliance, his historical importance, and his intoxication with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Without shying away from the universalism question, Galli urges us to consider Barth’s claims and what preaching a Christ-centered gospel with Barth might mean in a pluralistic world.”

Karl Barth's Church Dogmatics for Everyone, Volume 1—The Doctrine of the Word of God

Theology

“Folsom couldn’t be more right! Barth has been admired, and criticized, more than he has been read. In this breakthrough series, Folsom is taking Church Dogmatics down from the upper shelf it often fills in the pastor’s study, blowing off the dust, and illuminating its pages for the benefit of parched souls and practical living. Restoring deepest meaning to theology as “queen of the sciences,” I hear Torrance and Macmurray applauding as Folsom provides us a lens to introduce us not only to Barth but more importantly to the God who is revealing God uniquely in Jesus Christ, the God apprehended (not comprehended!) in faith, the God who loves us more than He loves himself, the God who is truly for us! One of Folsom’s greatest contributions in this series is to provide not only an accessible entre to Barth but also an infrastructure that can be easily utilized for personal or group study. Such a format is only fitting for the discovery of the triune God, who is, in unity, persons in community!”
