Westerholm, Martin: Freedom under the Word - Karl Barth`s Theological Exegesis

Renowned scholars offer critical engagements with Karl Barth's exegesis of Christian Scripture and explore its implications for contemporary hermeneutics and biblical interpretation. Focusing on rare texts from the Barth corpus, Freedom under the Word considers the legacy and potential of Barth's theology by presenting a wide-ranging engagement with and assessment of Barth's theological exegesis. The volume covers Barth's career chronologically, providing insight into his theological development as it relates to Scripture.

"The breadth and intensity of Barth's commitment to the exegetical mainsprings of Christian faith and thought generally, and of doctrine in particular, are well honored and well served by this fine volume. As these essays make clear in all their incisiveness and insight, read well, Barth's theology continues to invite us to return again and again to dwell in the 'strange new world of the Bible.'"
--Philip G. Ziegler, University of Aberdeen
