Barth For Armchair Theologians

“Most of the English-speaking world still has a ‘cartoonish’ understanding of Karl Barth. How appropriate, then, that a book with actual cartoons should appear to demolish the stereotypes. John Franke’s Barth for ArmchairTheologians offers an accurate, insightful, and at times whimsical introduction to the great thinker from Basel.” Joseph L. Mangina, Wycliffe College, Toronto, author of Karl Barth: Theologian of Christian Witness Written by experts but designed for the novice, the Armchair series provides accurate, concise, and witty overviews of some of the most profound moments and theologians in Christian history. These books are essential supplements for first-time encounters with primary texts, lucid refreshers for scholars and clergy, and enjoyable reads for the theologically curious. This volume introduces readers to the life and thought of Karl Barth (1886-1968), one of the most important theologians since the Reformation era. Featuring the Armchair series’ characteristic whimsical illustrations, Barth for Armchair Theologians surveys Barth’s theology as it emerges and culminates in his monumental Church Dogmatics as well as how his theology continues to be interpreted in the present day. John R. Franke is Professor of Theology at Biblical Theological Seminary in Hatfield, Pennsylvania. He is coauthor with Stanley J. Grenz of Beyond Foundationalism: Shaping Theology in a Postmodern Context also published by Westminster John Knox Press.
