A classic study of the development and influence of Barth's theology, and an exploration of the period in which the Barthian revolution was shaped.
Professor Torrance not only provides a clear and convincing portrait of the early Barth and his immense range, but he also describes how Barth fits into the picture of theological Europe before and after World War I.
For Torrance, Barth's passion and ultimate achievement place him alongside Augustine, Aquinas and Luther.

The Very Revd Thomas F. Torrance is Emeritus Professor of Christian Dogmatics at the University of Edinburgh.
