Credo

This important book by a theologian regarded as the most eminent of this century explains the Apostles Creed as a foundation of the Christian religion. Karl Barth (1886-1968) the Swiss Reformed professor and pastor was once described by Pope Pius XII as the most important theologian since Thomas Aquinas. As principal author of The Barmen Declaration he was the intellectual leader of the German Confessing Church - the Protestant group that resisted the Third Reich. Barths teaching career spanned nearly five decades. Removed from his post at Bonn by the Nazis in late 1934 Barth moved to Basel where he taught until 1962. Among Barths many books sermons and essays are the Epistle to the Romans Humanity of God Evangelical Theology and Church Dogmatics.
