Saving Protestantism from Itself?
"Orthodox and Modern: Studies in the Theology of Karl Barth" by Bruce L. McCormack
Bruce McCormack is the Charles Hodge Professor of Systematic Theology at Princeton Theological Seminary. In recent years, he has contributed to the world of evangelical scholarship and is a familiar name and much sought-after speaker on the Christian college and seminary conference circuit. This new collection of essays, most of which were previously published as journal articles, comes as the promised companion volume to his only other major book, the ground-breaking (and very dense) Karl Barth's Critically Realistic Dialectical Theology: Its Genesis and Development, 1909-1936 (Oxford University Press, 1995). As the titles indicate, these books are not for the faint of heart, although the essay nature of this new collection--and the fact that McCormack is engaged in conversation with evangelical theology--suggests that a fairly wide readership will take interest.
