Karl Barth: Introduction to Early Theology

Thomas Torrance's Karl Barth: An Introduction to His Early Theology 1910-1931 serves as a classic study of the development and influence of Barth's theology as well as an exploration of the period in which the Barthian revolution was shaped. Torrance not only provides a clear and convincing portrait of the early Barth and his immense range, but he also describes how Barth fits into the picture of theological Europe before and after World War I. For Torrance, Barth's passion and ultimate achievement place him alongside Augustine, Aquinas and Luther.
