Karl Barth stands at the center of modern theological debate over how Christians should read Scripture. Leading academics gather rare writings from Barth's extensive body of work to examine his approach to biblical interpretation. The collection traces Barth's intellectual journey chronologically, revealing how his methods of scriptural analysis evolved throughout his career. John Webster, Francis Watson, Wesley Hill, Stephen Fowl, Paul Nimmo, and Grant Macaskill contribute critical assessments of Barth's theological framework. Each scholar wrestles with different aspects of Barth's legacy, questioning how his interpretive strategies might apply to current biblical scholarship. The book offers readers a comprehensive look at one theologian's influence on contemporary hermeneutics and provides tools for understanding modern approaches to Christian Scripture.
