Check out the newly revamped website for
The Center for Barth Studies There you will find, in addition to many excellent resources for the Karl Barth researcher, my latest publication, a
review of Nathan D. Hieb's superb study,
Christ Crufied in a Suffering World: The Unity of Atonement and Liberation. In this volume, Hieb provides one model for doing what I should very much like to accomplish constructively: He integrates a Christocentric theology, complete with a strong doctrine of the atonement, with contemporary efforts on socio-political transformation and liberation. As I write:
All too often contemporary theologians create a false binary between traditional atonement doctrines and theologies of liberation. Nathan Hieb seeks to bridge that gap by means of a fresh reading and retooling of Karl Barth’s doctrine of atonement.
I hope this might whet your appetite to read the review and, more than that, to get a hold of Hieb's book for yourself.
