| Summary: | Having already demonstrated in Covenanted Solidarity (New York: Peter Lang, 2001) that Karl Barth was intensely opposed, both politically and theologically, to antisemitism, Mark Lindsay in this new book continues to defend Barth, this time by testing Barth's theologizing about Israel in his post-Holocaust writings. Like his earlier work, the methodology consists of ‘taking the theological element seriously, and assessing it on its own grounds, while keeping it embedded in the actuality of historical enquiry’ (Covenanted Solidarity, p. 2). The argument that Barth's insensitive and irresponsible comments concerning Judaism are distorted by a neglect of Barth's positive theology of Israel will also remind readers of chapter 8 of Covenanted Solidarity. |
