  Barmen Theses Then And Now

  $19.99

  Applies a bold Christian stand against Nazi thinking to the issues of today

  In 1934, the German Protestant Church faced strong attempts by Hitler’s Nazi regime to bring it into line with anti-Semitic and decidedly unbiblical ways of thinking. In defiant response, leaders in the church adopted the Barmen Declaration. This bold statement of dissent, grounded in the authority of Scripture, has become a powerful model for the contemporary confession of the Christian faith against modern forms of skepticism and unbelief.

  Eberhard Busch here demonstrates to a new generation how the decisions of the German Protestant Church during a specific time of crisis can guide Christians today. He interprets each of the six theses in its original context – Nazi Germany – and then applies them to the cultural and political challenges facing Christianity in our time.

  Barth

  $16.99

  According to Eberhard Busch, Karl Barth’s theology is “characterized by being…in constant movement and transformation.” And a Christian’s path is marked by self-correction in order to learn how to live out the same thing again and again in a better and more appropriate way. Likewise the church, like her God, is always on the move.
