Summary:

Described by Pope Pius XII as the most important theologian since Thomas Aquinas, the Swiss pastor and theologian, Karl Barth, continues to be a major influence on students, scholars and preachers today. Barth's theology found its expression mainly through his closely reasoned fourteen-part magnum opus, <i>Die Kirchliche Dogmatik</i>. Having taken over 30 years to write, the <i>Church Dogmatics</i> is regarded as one of the most important theological works of all time, and represents the pinnacle of Barth's achievement as a theologian.
