Karl Barth: A Life in Conflict, by Christiane Tietz. Translated by Victoria J. Barnett.

An evocative portrait of a theologian who described himself as "God's cheerful partisan," who was honored as a prophet and a genial spirit, was feared as a critic, and shaped the theology of an entire century as no other thinker. 

  • "Victoria Barnett's splendidly fluid translation creates a strong sense of engagement with the narrative from beginning to end."—Donald K. McKim, Church History
