| Sumario: | Ever since the first reviews of Karl Barth’s Römerbrief (1919) appeared, with Adolf Jülicher and Eberhard Vischer scathingly critiquing Barth’s attempts as the ham-fisted efforts of a theologian (K. Barth, ‘Preface to the Second Edition’, in The Epistle to the Romans, 6th edn., trans. E. C. Hoskyns [Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1933], p. 4), Barth’s skill as a biblical scholar has been routinely derided. Indeed, just two years ago in my own school, when I proposed offering a reading course on Barth’s Romans, my colleagues in biblical studies expressed grave misgivings, fearing, I suppose, that my students would learn nothing but bad exegetical habits. As Daniel Migliore wryly notes, Barth’s ‘arresting readings of the biblical texts have met with both praise and demurrers’ (p. xii). And so it was perhaps fitting that, in the lead-up to the centenary of Barth’s most famous commentary, Princeton Theological Seminary devoted its 2015 Annual Karl Barth Conference to Barth’s exegesis of the Gospels. This book is that meeting’s abundant fruit. In 11 essays and one sermon we are treated to the sight of astute scholars wrestling with Barth’s wrestling of the Gospels, and with their own evaluation of how cogently he employs these texts for his dogmatic purposes. |
