Om den här e-boken

A member of the Confessing Church, and primary author of the Barmen Declaration, Karl Barth was a prominent voice of opposition to Nazism in the church. Barth wrote a number of letters addressing different groups of Christians, in the wake of various events connected with World War II. This volume presents Barth's 1942 letter to American Christians, addressing the proper function of the church in relation to the war and addressing those that deal with the responsibility of the church in post-war reconstruction. Also included are some remarks also written specifically for American Christians, which as Samuel McCrea Cavert notes in the introduction, present "a review of the way in which the Protestant churches of Europe had met the crisis of National Socialism and the war up to the fall of 1942 ... significant for its indirect disclosure of Dr. Barth's judgments on the elements of strength and weakness in the churches of Europe."

Om författaren

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. Barth's 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 Barth's many books, sermons, and essays are The Epistle to the Romans, Humanity of God, Evangelical Theology, and Church Dogmatics. Evangelical Theology, American Lectures, 1962 Now available exclusively as a digitized audiobook from Evangelical%20Theology,%20American%20Lectures,%201962%20-%20Karl%20Barth" target="_blank">Apple iTunes.
