Swiss theologian Karl Barth (1886-1968) has made a monumental impact all along the spectrum of theology and ethics. Among evangelicals, however, myths and caricatures have arisen that must be dismantled to achieve a critically and selectively fruitful engagement with his work. A fresh look at Barth is necessary. Inviting readers to suspend their assumptions and calling evangelicals and Barthians to mutually edifying dialogue, Professor Shao Kai Tseng, a notable Barth scholar, seeks to establish a fair interpretation of Barth's writings that honors his texts and heeds his intellectual-biographical and intellectual-historical context. He also provides a valuable overview of Barth's theological impact in both the East and the West to the present day. In the words of Professor George Hunsinger, "This welcome volume takes ecumenical dialogue [on Barth] to a whole new level," and Professor Michael Horton writes, "I know of no other work that . . . explains Barth's theology with such skill."
