Foreword by Colin GuntonThis beautifully constructed work by Paul Louis Metzger explores whatKarl Barth, the theological giant of the twentieth century, had to sayabout the relation of Christianity to modern culture.Working from an intimate knowledge of all of Barth's writings, Metzger shows how Barth's theology offers a constructive synthesis ofChrist and culture. Metzger first analyzes Barth's formative theological period and what it contributed to his thinking about the world. Hethen focuses on how Barth's unique doctrine of the Word enabled himto relate Christ to culture in inseparable terms while yet maintaining adistinction between them. The final section of the book traces the wayBarth framed culture within his theological model even as he continuedto champion the secular domain.
