KBBC: Barth and Jenson, Day 5

This years KBBC is awesome--there are some really superb papers. Today's is not an exception. Peter Kline writes and excellent paper on Barth and Jenson followed by a very thoughtful response by William Barnett. This is some really good stuff and there are some great comments on this paper so go take a look.

KBBC: Barth and Tillich, Day 4

Another essay has been posted for the Karl Barth Blog conference over at Der evangelische. The title of the paper is “Being Well-Read”: Barth in Conversation with Paul Tillich on Reading Scripture and Culture, written by Derek Maris. Go check it out and support the authors of these papers.

Also if you haven't read the three previous essays then do yourself a favor and go read them. So far they have been on Barth and Schleiermacher, Barth and Bavinck (by yours truly), and Barth and Bonhoeffer. All have been excellent. Look forward to more great essays.

KBBC: Barth and Bonhoeffer

A new paper has been posted over at Der Evangelische Theologe for the KBBC. It is written by Matthew Puffer and the title of the paper is Dietrich Bonhoeffer in the Theology of Karl Barth. Go take a look at it.

Thanks for all of your comments on my paper yesterday, it's a pleasure to be a part of this

KBBC: Barth and Bavinck

My paper on Barth and Bavinck has been posted at the KBBC. Take a look, I would love feedback and comments. And thanks again to Travis and David for letting me be apart of this.

KBBC: Barth and Bavinck

KBBC: Barth and Schleiermacher

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.
