Reconciled Humanity: Karl Barth in Dialogue (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780802863638)

This book clearly shows how Karl Barth still remains a vital dialogue partner for contemporary theology. Hans Mikkelsen sets out to demonstrate the ways in which Barth reinterprets traditional Christianity. In this spirit of dialogue, Mikkelsen reads Barth in conjunction with several other thinkers and theologians, including Schleiermacher, Hegel, Brunner, Buber, Pannenberg, Gerard, and Frei.

Reconciled Humanity is a refreshing treatment of Barth, full of complex, intricate, and highly nuanced arguments. Mikkelsen here establishes a connection between tradition and modernity in systematic theology, concerning himself not only with what Barth said, but also with how one can -- and should -- use Barth's thought in a constructive way today.
