According to Barth, the two doctrines which are central to all the ways and works of God are election and reconciliation, the former because it is the sum and substance of the Gospel and of all words that can be said it is the best, the latter because it is the center of all Christian knowledge. In his discussion of them, Barth reveals his understanding of soteriology. - p. 4.

Karl Barth (1886- ) was born in Basel, Switzerland, and educated at the Universities of Berne (under his father, a New Testament theologian), Berlin (under Adolf von Harnack, the Ritschlian church historian), and Marburg (under Wilhelm Herrmann). During the second decade of this century he pastored a church in Safenwil, Switzerland, becoming there increasingly disenchanted with his liberal theological training because of the backing which his mentors had given to the military policy of Kaiser Wilhelm II and because of the fact of World War I itself. Between 1915 and 1919 Barth and Eduard Thurneysen, an intimate friend and also a pastor, re-evaluated their theology, the result of Barth's research being his Römerbrief. Therein, besides the Bible, was the influence of Kierkegaard, Overbeck, and Dostoievski. During the 1920s, which may be regarded as the decade of his existentialist approach to theology, Barth taught at the Universities of Göttingen and Münster. The year 1927 saw the publication of his Christian Dogmatics, an effort which he later began anew and replaced with his monumental Church Dogmatics. From 1930 to 1934 he taught at the University of Bonn, at the end of which time he returned to his home town of Basel and taught there in the University until his retirement in 1961. The last thirty years have witnessed an amazing literary creativity, his Church Dogmatics already filling thirteen large volumes in English translation. In 1962 he visited the United States for the first time under the auspices of Chicago Divinity School and Princeton Theological Seminary. Though now an octogenarian, he is still actively engaged in the completion of the final volume of his magnum opus. In addition to his Dogmatics, he has authored some forty or fifty books and several hundred articles covering a wide range of topics, many of a non-theological nature. - About Karl Barth.
