Karl Barth: A Future for Postmodern Theology?

About this book

"Karl Barth: A Future for Postmodern Theology? What do the colon and the question mark in the title signify? Does the colon denote relatedness or separation? What is the effect of the question mark? DOes the interrogative question the future of Karl Barth's approach to theology, make a claim for Barth as a postmodern theologian, or challenge the notion of postmodern thelogy altogether...? [These papers] pose sharply the question of how the name Kar Barth and term postmodern relate. Or, more pointedly, how or whether theology have anything to do with each other at all." From the 'Epilogue' by Wes Campbell. The contributors to this volume take no shortcuts in seeking premature answers to these questions. Indeed, the various and diverse papers combine to remind the reader that any answers will be reached only by taking full account of the challenges which Barth's theology presents to any context, and of the critical question from which his theology can be granted no immunity.
