Vad är kristen teologi? Vad kännetecknar det teologiska arbetet? Bortom vanliga stereotyper om teologi som något verklighetsfrämmande, dogmatiskt, ovetenskapligt eller onödigt, skildrar Karl Barth teologin som något som berör hela livet, som utmanar och överraskar. Evangelisk teologi kännetecknas av glädje såväl som kritisk reflektion, av anspråkslöshet såväl som frihet.

Fram träder bilden av en teologi där Gud och Guds handlande i Israels historia och i Jesus Kristus står i centrum och där Guds vittnen spelar en avgörande roll. Det är en teologi som aldrig kan bli färdig, en teologi som präglas av förundran och häpnad, som föder förpliktelse och tro. Den har dock sina faror, såsom ensamhet, tvivel och anfäktelse, men bärs samtidigt av ett hopp. I allt detta märks behovet av sådana dygder som ödmjukhet, urskillning, uthållighet och mod. Och därmed formas ett teologiskt arbete vars grundton är bönen som går hand i hand med studiet, som finns till för att tjäna Gud, kyrkan och världen och som bottnar i den kärlek som bär tillvaron.

Den evangeliska teologin är Barths sista föreläsningsserie som professor där han reflekterar över sitt livslånga arbete. Med värme och djup, precision och poetisk klang förmedlar den fortfarande insikt och inspiration till alla som på något sätt håller på med teologi. Det här är en bok att  återvända till gång på gång.

Schweizaren Karl Barth (1886–1968) brukar beskrivas som 1900-talets viktigaste teolog. Förutom sitt samhällsengagemang (bland annat motstånd mot nazismen) är han känd för sin starka betoning på Gud som treenig och Jesus Kristus som teologins centrum. Han blev även en viktig gestalt inom den ekumeniska teologin.

Sagt om Den evangeliska teologin

"Trots att Barths teologiska praktik kan verka främmande för många är ingen annan 1900-talsteolog idag så mycket läst och diskuterad som Barth. Han har kommit att bli en teologisk klassiker likt sådana som Irenaeus, Augustinus, Thomas av Aquino, Luther, Calvin och Schleiermacher. Han fortsätter att utmana hur teologi bedrivs och det är omöjligt att idag vara teolog utan att på något sätt förhålla sig till Barths frågor till oss. Oberoende av hur man ställer sig till hans teologi har alla som är teologi­intresserade anledning att läsa och begrunda de slutsatser Barth drar från sitt långa och epokgörande arbete som teolog." (Ur bokens nyskrivna förord)Arne Rasmusson, professor i tros- och livsåskådningsvetenskap vid Göteborgs universitet.

"Denna bok har en speciell plats i min läsning. Dess 'intensitet och korthet' håller teologins väsen och nödvändighet i tydligt fokus i mitt liv."Eugene H Peterson (1932–2018), amerikansk pastor, teolog, författare och poet, skrev över 30 böcker, däribland hans prisvinnande bibelöversättning The Message.

This volume traces Barth's work from his rejection of theological liberalism and his rediscovery of the Bible, to his magnum opus, the Church Dogmatics.

Named one of Church Times's Best Christian BooksThis volume provides a much-needed English translation of the sixth edition of what is considered the fundamental text for fully understanding Barthianism. Barth--who remains a powerful influence on European and American theology--argues that the modern Christian preacher and theologian face the same basic problems that confronted Paul.Assessing the whole Protestant argument in relation to modern attitudes and problems, he focuses on topics such as Biblical exegesis; the interrelationship between theology, the Church, and religious experience; the relevance of the truth of the Bible toculture; and what preachers should preach.

This second collection of sermons preached by Karl Barth in Basel prison won the same high praise as its predecessor, Deliverance to the Captives. 'In a mere twelve sermons much of Barth's greatness comes through, his faith, his heart and compassion', wrote the Times Literary Supplement, and the Church of England Newspaper remarked; 'We find revealed here the deep and pastoral concern which lies behind the theological genius of Barth'. Whether beginning from the Old Testament or the New, Barth has a unique gift of becoming a vehicle for conveying the majesty and the glory of God who is at the same time the God of mercy and loving-kindness.

Barth stands before us as the greatest theologian of the twentieth century, yet the massive corpus of work which he left behind, the multi volume Church Dogmatics, can seem daunting and formidable to readers today. Fortunately his Dogmatics in Outline first published in English in 1949, contains in brilliantly concentrated form even in shorthand, the essential tenets of his thinking. Built around the assertions made in the Apostles Creed the book consists of a series of reflections on the foundation stones of Christian doctrine. Because Dogmatics in Outline derives from very particular circumstances namely the lectures Barth gave in war-shattered Germany in 1946, it has an urgency and a compassion which lend the text a powerful simplicity. Despite its brevity the book makes a tremendous impact, which in this new edition will now be felt by a fresh generation of readers.

One of the most important texts for understanding the early work of Karl Barth.

In a Preface, Professor James S. Stewart, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, writes: `This little book demonstrates wonderfully Barth's characteristic union of simplicity and profundity. Certainly there is in these pages a Word from the Lord for the revitalizing of the Church.' The book is based on two series of informal lectures, published in the USA as Prayer and The Preaching of the Gospel. The first series studied Christian prayer, and particularly the Lord's Prayer as interpreted by Luther and Calvin. The second series ventured into the field of practical theology, discussing the essential characteristics of preaching and how to prepare a sermon. Here one who is mighty in the pulpit shows preachers that they must trust in Scripture itself; and lays bare his own attitude to the humbling but possible task of proclaiming the Word of God. Even Christians not responsible for composing sermons are responsible for hearing God through them, and they, too, will be helped by these intimately spiritual pages. Specimen sermons are added.

These 18 sermons on the central themes of the Gospel were first published in 1961, with an introductory essay by Dr. John Marsh, Principal of Mansfield College, Oxford. 'Most of these sermons were in fact preached to inmates of Basel Prison, where the great theologian is a visitor. Wisdom, honesty, consideration and reverence shine through these pages' (Guardian). 'Here is evangelical preaching which has the surge and onward movement of a symphony. It should be read aloud, so that the tremendous force of the Scripture words, and the passion of the preacher, may be truly felt. This is power-this is grace' (Life and Work, the Record of the Church of Scotland). `Has won universal approval for its simplicity, humanity and devotion' (T. H. L. Parker in SPCK View Review, 1965).

In this classic text, Karl Barth outlines and discusses the Christian tradition of baptism and its biblical and theological context.

Karl Barth, one of the most important theologians of the twentieth century, offers a concise and comprehensive theological reading of Paul's Letter to the Romans.

Dr Barth's exposition of Philippians, first published in German in 1927, was not available in English before this translation by Dr James Leitch. It has important differences in procedure from the famous Romans, and should not be missed by any student of Dr Barth's development. The commentary is also of interest as having been written primarily for the non-theologian. It is intelligible without a knowledge of Greek, although it has insights for the New Testament specialist. Like the Epistle of joy itself, Dr Barth's Philippians reflects the concern of a pastor that ordinary Christians should set their priorities right.

Against the Stream? offers a timeless selection of some of Karl Barth's most important shorter essays and sermons from the period immediately following the Second World War.

Karl Barth was, without doubt, one of the most significant religious thinkers of modern times. His radical affirmation of the revealed truth of Christianity changed the course of Christian theology in the twentieth century and is a source of inspiration for countless believers. Pope Pius XII declared that there had been nothing like Karl Barth's later thought since Thomas Aquinas. God Here and Now offers a succinct and accessible overview of that thought. In it, Barth outlines his position on the fundamental tenets of Christian belief, from the decision of faith to the authority of the Bible, and from the interpretation of grace to the significance of Jesus Christ. In this way Barth challenges each and every reader to discover what it means to encounter God, here and now.

This short volume, which emerged from the Karl Barth centenary year in 1986, brings together a collection of essays which makes an important contribution to Barth interpretation. Few would dispute the fact that Karl Barth is one of the great figures of twentieth-century theology, and two decades after his death he continues to fascinate those who study the field and his own thought in the magisterial, unfinished Church Dogmatics. Yet while his impact and influence upon modern theology has been great, Barth has been subject, too, to suspicion and sometimes to fierce opposition. The contributors to this book examine and refute some of the more simplistic reasons why the thought of Karl Barth has had a somewhat limited appeal in modern English-language theology. Writing form a variety of ecclesiastical persuasions, Reformed, Lutheran, Anglican and Roman Catholic, the authors seek to demonstrate at a fundamental level the continuing important of some of Barth's major concerns. Collectively the essays constitute a positive introduction to Barth, to his place in the history of the philosophy of religion, as a constructive theologian, as a Churchman and in specific relation to the modern history of English-language theology.
