Karl Barth links

Michael Spencer - the internet monk - has a post listing a number of important Karl Barth links. Barth was one of the important theologians of the last century.

To start here's the wikipedia article on Karl Barth. Go here to set a summary of his life and work. Barth is not always easy reading. And I don't always agree with him. But at the same time, he will always be remembered for his comment in response to the the question:
What was the most important thing he had learned in all his reading & studying?
Barth thought for a moment and then said:
Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so.

Coming Soon: Karl Barth and Evangelical Theology: Convergences and Differences edited by Sung Wook Chung. Contributors include Kevin J. Vanhoozer, Alister E. McGrath, Timothy George, Gabriel Fackre, Stanley Grenz, and Henri Blocher.

Time Magazine’s 1962 cover-story on Karl Barth’s theology.

John MacDowell’s collection of Karl Barth papers, articles and lectures. Includes an excellent outline of Barth’s view of “listening” to Scripture.

Barth Books on a budget (Kim Frabicius again.)

Stanley Hauerwas on Barth’s Theology in outline (with an interesting comment from Barth on non-Christians listening in.)

John Howard Yoder on Barth as a “Witness to Post-Christendom.”

Barth outed as a heretic by Apprising Ministries, which pretty much settles all questions.

EMC is the shorthand for Evangelical Missionary Church of Canada. It's sister denominations stateside are The Missionary Church and the Evangelical Church. Those 2 churches became separate Canadian entities several years ago, and then about 10 years ago the 2 merged here in Canada.
