Karl Barth: God’s Word in Action is unavailable, but you can change that!

In this creative and original book, Paul S. Chung interprets Karl Barth as a theologian of divine action. Chung appreciates Barth's dogmatic theology as both contextual and irregular, and he retrieves the neglected sides of Barth's thought with respect to political radicalism, Israel, natural theology, and religious pluralism.

“humans under grace are what they will make out of themselves. They are free in God . . . They have the gift of activity of good will” (R I:169)—finds its echo in this liberative statement: “With deliberation not the word ‘freedom,’ but the dynamic word ‘liberation’” (KD IV/3.2:760; CD IV/3.2:663) becomes characteristic of Christian existence. This liberation aspect gains prominence when it comes to Barth’s critique of the lordless powers of political absolutism and economic mammonism. As Marquardt
