Definitely go read Matt Bruce's paper. It is very good. He makes some great observations about the differences and similarities between Barth and Schleiermacher and he also notes Barth's interpretive mistakes. I feel like Barth and Schleiermacher are often seen as enemies--or at least Schleiermacher is seen as a bad guy and Barth a good guy, which should not be the case. Essays like Matt Bruce's and books like Matthias Gockel's do a fine and necessary job of defrauding these types of assertions. Do yourself a favor--go read this essay.
