Description: An article from the Dictionary of Modern Western Theology.
Name (Boston Collaborative Encyclopedia of Western Theology) Universally recognized as among a very select few who have profoundly influenced all of Christian theology, Karl Barth remains perhaps one of the least understood theologians of the modern period. He is often acknowledged as the greatest Protestant theologian of this century. His major contribution was a radical change in the direction of theology from a 19th-century orientation toward progress to an orthodoxy that had to cope with the grim realities of the 20th century. His rejection of liberal theology led to an emphasis on the eschatological and supernatural in Christianity. He refused any synthesis between the church and culture, and emphasized the radical disjunction between God and human beings. An extremely voluminous writer, the sheer size of Barth’s corpus is intimidating. More significantly, his thought is dialectical. Barth’s theology oscillates back and forth from the radical discontinuity between God and creation (“no”) and the equally radical love of God for creation (“yes”).
