Revelatory Positivism?

'he is a perceptive guide and has done enough to whet our appetites for his answers' Daniel Jenkins, Times Literary Supplement
`The continuing emergence of Oxford Theological Monographs is to be greatly welcomed ... "Revelatory Positivism?" is no exception in opening up dimensions of the background and thought of Barth that have been little studied.' Journal of Theological Studies
'This book with its copious notes, appendices and index should be essential reading for students of theology, even if they are not solely interested in the Marburg School. It also makes accessible in English much material not hitherto available to those without German.' A.S. Halford-MacLeod. Newscan
`an important monograph on a neglected area of Barth studies ... his earliest liberal writings on philosophy of religion have been scarcely noticed. Dr Fisher's book seeks to make good the omission ... The great strength of the book is its immensely careful scholarship, both in examining the details of the texts to which it gives attention and in setting them in their cultural and intellectual contexts ... Fisher's work sets high standards of meticulous scholarship, and readers should be grateful for a book which not only traces a neglected part of the intellectual background to contemporary theology but also extends their sense of what is happening in the most complex and ramified theological oeuvre of the century' Themelios
