outstanding book
This book is the most impressive, complete and insightfull study of Karl Barth. Both by is scholarship and by its depth and width. Hunsinger truly understands what Barth is trying to say about Christ and how he can only do this as a witness. H. makes clear why Barth is at the same time difficult and easy to read. He doen not "lock him up in a system", but shows us what Bart has seen and heard, better still, has been given to see and hear about God. The sense of wonder, surprise that is so typical for Barth, the joy and humility with which B. is a witness of Christ and both a scholar and a pupil of the Bible, ar all there. No book gives a better understanding of Barth and is more inviting in joining B's ever-new speaking of God.
H. has an extensive knowlegde of both philosophy and theology.
