Abstract:
This book, the first of two volumes, seeks to challenge the prevailing view in the historiography of 20th century theology — that Karl Barth was a leading representative of a “neo-orthodoxy” which was dominant between 1930 and 1960. It lays the foundation for a revision through a genetic-historical interpretation of Barth’s theological development. It argues that the “turn” to a “neo-orthodox” form of theology that was believed to have occurred with the Church Dogmatics in 1931-32 never took place. Subsequent to his break with “liberalism” in 1915, Barth became and remained a critically realistic dialectical theologian.
