This perceptive study of the Protestant theologian Karl Barth decodes the most cryptic and elusive patterns of Barth's dialectic. Hunsinger here advances a new and authoritative interpretation of barth's mature theology, and places Barth's work in relation to contemporary discussions of truth, justified belief, double agency, and religious pluralism. Offering a fresh reading of the Church Dogmatics, Hunsinger uncovers a series of thought-forms that pervade and underlie Barth's work. He abandons the attempt to find one definite `key' or `central' concept in Barth's massive 10,000 page opus and instead presents a sophisticated array of motifs that serve as a guide to understanding the many facets of Barth's thought. How to Read Karl Barth offers a powerful account of the coherence of that multi-volumed work as a whole. Barth's thought
Brings a thoroughness and carefulness to the daunting work of Barth interpretation ... He admirably and aptly accounts for the complexity and richness of Barth. * Journal of Religion *
