This beautifully constructed work by Paul Louis Metzger explores what Karl Barth, the theological giant of the twentieth century, had to say about the relation of Christianity to modern culture. Working from an intimate knowledge of all of Barth's writings, Metzger shows how Barth's theology offers a constructive synthesis of Christ and culture.
