Offers an introduction to the work of the most important Protestant theologian of the twentieth century. This title considers the life of Karl Barth and examines in turn the key theological loci which Barth treated in his magnum opus, the "Church Dogmatics".

Investigates the way in which the 'actualistic ontology' - the fact that God and human agents are beings-in-act in a covenant relationship - that underlies the Church Dogmatics of Karl Barth affects his conception of ethical agency. This book analyses this effect along three paths of inquiry.
