This book is from the pen of one who has firsthand knowledge of Karl Barth. These chapters were written soon after Fred Klooster had returned from a full year's stay in Basel, Switzerland, where he was in almost daily contact with Barth, attending lectures, seminars, and colloquia. Klooster has succeeded admirably in giving a lucid presentation of Barth's theology, evaluating particularly Barth's views on divine election and reconciliation. As a result this book will appeal to all who are sincerely interested in contemporary theology.
