Erleben und Deuten

To celebrate Ulrich Barth's 70th birthday, fellow academics and students have pooled their intellectual thoughts in order to discuss the issues of dogmatic theology in view of his approaching the notion of religion through subjectivity- and modernity-theories. Staying true to the focuses of Barth's oeuvre, the book emphasizes the likes of its objectivity or reflectivity, its symbolic or phenomenological aspects, the analysis of historical theology in its reforming of a dogmatic theme or its current and praxis-oriented affirmation. The contours of a Protestant dogmatic in keeping with the times emerge in this Festschrift, which is just as committed to the informed and critically-aware religious discourse as to the acknowledgement of the crucial significance and life-enhancing benefits of the Christian faith in the modern age.
