Book excerpt: ""An important feature of this booklet is the inclusion of two contrasting sermons by Barth--the 'monster of a full scale Titanic sermon' of 1912, and the sermon of Christ's walking on the lake of 1934. In different ways these dealt with disasters, the unfortunate disaster of 1912, and the far more serious disaster of rising Hitlerism in 1934. How did it come about that the approaches were so very different? A simple answer lies in Barth's threefold development of the doctrine of God's word. . . . The 1912 sermon fails by all these standards. The 1934 sermon passes, and proves to be a more powerful response to the current situation."" --Geoffrey W. Bromiley, translator of Church Dogmatics and author of An Introduction to the Theology of Karl Barth ""Karl Barth's two sermons dramatically reflect his preaching in two distinct phases. In each, he is seeking a word to proclaim to the congregation; but in dramatically different ways. . . . These sermons, with Bishop Willimon's fine introduction, clearly show the preacher Barth was and the preacher Barth became, while also directly challenging the contemporary church always to listen to God's Word, to trust, and to obey."" --Donald K. McKim, Editor, How Karl Barth Changed My Mind ""The mighty Karl Barth still speaks in our postmodern world. . . . His preaching once was one of the great voices in the context of the rise of Hitler's rise to power in Germany. His voice is still audible, along with those of Martin Niemuller, Helmut Thielicke, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer. These great preachers are examples of Germany's biblically grounded Reformation preaching."" --James D. Strauss, Professor Emeritus of Theology and Philosophy, Lincoln Christian Seminary, Lincoln, Illinois ""The sermon from Bremen reminds me how I as a boy experienced the last sermons of my grandfather in the Basel prison: line by line he brought the biblical text anew to speech (to life in speech). Listen: whoever wants to preach in this way must at the same time stand just as awake and engaged in current events as this comes to expression in the Titanic sermon. In this way the two sermons make a suspenseful pair (maybe even a dialectic pair)."" --Dieter Zellweger, President of the Karl Barth Legacy Commission and Karl Barth's grandson Kurt I. Johanson is Pastor at Pleasant Grove Church in Dallas, Texas, and formerly adjunct lecturer in Homiletics at Dallas Christian College.
Book Synopsis The Word of God and Theology by : Karl Barth
Download or read book The Word of God and Theology written by Karl Barth and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-05-05 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic volume of Barth's essays was first published in 1924 under the title 'Das Wort Gottes und die Theologie'. In this brand new English edition all the critical apparatus is translated, each chapter including an explanatory passage giving general historical context and details of Barth's own biography. These essays represent the very best of Barth's work. Far from being superceded by the Church Dogmatics, indeed, a thorough understanding of the Church Dogmatics must presuppose a close knowledge of them. The style is vivid, deeply engaged and engaging, often expressionistic (making frequent use of irony and hyperbole). Peter Gay described Weimar culture as a "dance on the edge of a volcano." If so, then it was essays like these that provided the music.
Book Synopsis Conversations with Barth on Preaching by : Bishop William H. Willimon
Download or read book Conversations with Barth on Preaching written by Bishop William H. Willimon and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of today’s greatest preacher-theologians engages one of the twentieth century's greatest teacher-theologians on the meaning of preaching.Readers of William H. Willimon’s many books have long found there the influence of Karl Barth, probably the most significant theologian of the twentieth century. In this new book Willimon explores that relationship explicitly by engaging Barth’s work on the pitfalls and problems, glories and grandeur of preaching the Word of God. The Swiss theologian, says the author, expressed one of the highest theologies of preaching of any of the great theologians of the church. Yet too much of Barth’s understanding of preaching lies buried in the Church Dogmatics and other, sometimes obscure, sources. Willimon brings this material to light, introducing the reader to Barth’s thought, not just on the meaning, but the practice of preaching as well.
Book Synopsis A Unique Time of God by : Karl Barth
Download or read book A Unique Time of God written by Karl Barth and published by Presbyterian Publishing Corp. This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World War I changed Karl Barth's theology forever. In this book William Klempa presents for the first time in English thirteen sermons that offer Barth's unique view and commentary on the Great War. Barth saw the war as "a unique time of God," believing it to represent God's judgment on militarism. The sermons reveal a deep strain of theological wrestling with the war's meaning, as Barth comes to see the conflict as the logical outcome of all human attempts to create God in our own image. As it demonstrates a decisive shift in Barth's early theology, this volume is essential for anyone who wishes to understand the twentieth century's greatest theologian.
Book Synopsis Preaching in Hitler's Shadow by : Dean G. Stroud

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What did German preachers opposed to Hitler say in their Sunday sermons? When the truth of Christ could cost a pastor his life, what words encouraged and challenged him and his congregation? This book answers those questions. Preaching in Hitler's Shadow begins with a fascinating look at Christian life inside the Third Reich, giving readers a real sense of the danger that pastors faced every time they went into the pulpit. Dean Stroud pays special attention to the role that language played in the battle over the German soul, pointing out the use of Christian language in opposition to Nazi rhetoric. The second part of the book presents thirteen well-translated sermons by various select preachers, including Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Karl Barth, Rudolf Bultmann, and others not as well known but no less courageous. A running commentary offers cultural and historical insights, and each sermon is preceded by a short biography of the preacher.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Karl Barth's 1922 The Epistle to the Romans is one of the most famous, notorious, and influential works in twentieth-century theology and biblical studies.

In this book, Kenneth Oakes provides historical background to the writing of The Epistle to the Romans, an introduction and analysis of its main themes and terms, a running commentary on the text itself, and suggestions for further readings from Barth on some of the issues it raises.

Download or read book Text Messages written by John Tucker and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-12-06 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Facebook. Twitter. Snapchat. We live in a rapidly changing world, a world that seems to be increasingly inhospitable toward preaching. In the face of digital technology, social media, cultural pluralism, and pastoral burnout, how can Christian preachers proclaim the gospel faithfully and effectively? This book answers that question by bringing together a selection of important voices from across North America, Asia, and the Pacific. It argues that Spirit-empowered preaching is characterized by five attributes: it opens the Scriptures, engages the culture, addresses the listener, dissects the preacher, and elevates the Savior. With contributions from authors like William Willimon, Darrell Johnson, Lynne Baab, Robert Smith Jr., and Paul Windsor, this is an excellent resource for ordained ministers, lay preachers, theological students, and anyone wrestling with the challenge of preaching God’s word in a smartphone world.
Book Synopsis Preachers Dare by : Bishop William H. Willimon
Download or read book Preachers Dare written by Bishop William H. Willimon and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preachers Dare is adapted from Will Willimon’s Lyman Beecher Lectures on Preaching at Yale and is inspired by a quote from the great theologian Karl Barth. In a world in which sermons too often become hackneyed conventional wisdom or tame common sense, preachers dare to speak about the God who speaks to us as Jesus Christ. Willimon draws upon his decades of preaching, as well as his many books on the practice of homiletics, to present a bold theology of preaching. This work emphasizes preaching as a distinctively theological endeavor that begins with and is enabled by God. God speaks, preachers dare to speak the speech of God, and the church dares to listen. By moving from the biblical text to the contemporary context, preachers dare to speak up for God so that God might speak today. With fresh biblical insights, creativity and pointed humor, Willimon gives today’s preachers and congregations encouragement to speak with the God who has so graciously and effusively spoken to us.

Book Synopsis Prayer and Preaching by : Karl Barth
Download or read book Prayer and Preaching written by Karl Barth and published by . This book was released on 2012-10-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a Preface, Professor James S. Stewart, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, writes: `This little book demonstrates wonderfully Barth's characteristic union of simplicity and profundity. Certainly there is in these pages a Word from the Lord for the revitalizing of the Church.' The book is based on two series of informal lectures, published in the USA as Prayer and The Preaching of the Gospel. The first series studied Christian prayer, and particularly the Lord's Prayer as interpreted by Luther and Calvin. The second series ventured into the field of practical theology, discussing the essential characteristics of preaching and how to prepare a sermon. Here one who is mighty in the pulpit shows preachers that they must trust in Scripture itself; and lays bare his own attitude to the humbling but possible task of proclaiming the Word of God. Even Christians not responsible for composing sermons are responsible for hearing God through them, and they, too, will be helped by these intimately vpiiitual pages. Specimen sermons ore added.
Book Synopsis Karl Barth's Emergency Homiletic, 1932-1933 by : Angela Dienhart Hancock
Download or read book Karl Barth's Emergency Homiletic, 1932-1933 written by Angela Dienhart Hancock and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2013-07-20 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does a theologian say to young preachers in the early 1930s, at the dawn of the Third Reich? What Karl Barth did say, how he said it, and why he said it at that time and place are the subject of Angela Dienhart Hancock's book. This is the story of how a preaching classroom became a place of resistance in Germany in 1932 33 -- a story that has not been told in its fullness. In that emergency situation, Barth took his students back to the fundamental questions about what preaching is and what it is for, returning again and again to the affirmation of the Godness of God, the only ground of resistance to ideological captivity. No other text has so interpreted Barth's "Exercises in Sermon Preparation" in relation to their theological, political, ecclesiastical, academic, and rhetorical context.
Book Synopsis Dogmatics in Outline by : Karl Barth
Download or read book Dogmatics in Outline written by Karl Barth and published by SCM Press. This book was released on 2013-01-25 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barth stands before us as the greatest theologian of the twentieth century, yet the massive corpus of work which he left behind, the multi volume Church Dogmatics, can seem daunting and formidable to readers today. Fortunately his Dogmatics in Outline first published in English in 1949, contains in brilliantly concentrated form even in shorthand, the essential tenets of his thinking. Built around the assertions made in the Apostles Creed the book consists of a series of reflections on the foundation stones of Christian doctrine. Because Dogmatics in Outline derives from very particular circumstances namely the lectures Barth gave in war-shattered Germany in 1946, it has an urgency and a compassion which lend the text a powerful simplicity. Despite its brevity the book makes a tremendous impact, which in this new edition will now be felt by a fresh generation of readers.
