About this title

Synopsis

This new paperback edition of Busch's acclaimed work again makes available what remains a truly distinctive, unparalleled account of the life of one of the greatest theologians in modern times. A long, new foreword offers Busch's current perspective on what he wrote "fairly quickly" almost 20 years ago, by using Barth's own correspondence and notes.
