Church Dogmatics Vol. 1, Part 1: The Doctrine of the Word of God

Described by Pope Pius XII as the most important theologian since Thomas Aquinas, the Swiss pastor and theologian, Karl Barth, continues to be a major influence on students, scholars and preachers today. Barth's theology found its expression mainly through his closely reasoned fourteen-part magnum opus, Die Kirchliche Dogmatik. Having taken over 30 years to write, the Church Dogmatics is regarded as one of the most important theological works of all time, and represents the pinnacle of Barth's achievement as a theologian. The two-part Doctrine of the Word of God is volume 1 of Barth’s Church Dogmatics. In it, Barth discusses the form and unity of God’s Word, the speech of God, man’s relationship with God, and how the Word affects faith. Ultimately, Barth shows that the Word of God is the revelation of the redeemer. Pastors, scholars, or students of doctrine will find this set to be invaluable in their understanding of Scripture. T&T Clark International is now proud to be publishing the only complete English translation of the Church Dogmatics in paperback. ISBＮ 0567050599 / 9780567050595
