Karl Barth’s Epistle to the Romans: Retrospect and Prospect

This volume considers Karl Barth's first major publication, his commentary on the apostle Paul's epistle to the Romans in its two editions (1919 and 1922), analyzing its contents, its exegetical and theological method, and its relevance today. The volume includes essays by specialists of Barth's thought as well as by prominent contemporary thinkers who, sometimes for the first time, publicly assess Barth's contribution.
