Thy Word is Truth

<DIV>Over the past two decades studies on Karl Barth have become increasingly technical. The ironic result is that although Barth wrote chiefly for preachers scholars have become the primary gatekeepers to his rich theological thought.<br><br> This collection of essays introduces Karl Barth with both clarity and depth providing pastors and other serious readers with a valuable overview of Barth's views on Scripture. George Hunsinger -- himself a recognized expert on Barth -- and eight other scholars cover such topics as Barth's belief that Scripture is both reliable and inspired his typological exegesis his ideas about time and eternity and more. Reading this book will whet the reader's appetite to engage further with Barth himself.</DIV>
