Karl Barth, the most significant theological teacher of the 20th century, was also a recognized master of precise language and expression. Eberhard Busch has selected 94 short texts from his extensive work. In these, Barth reflects on various aspects and offers surprising insights about God and the world, faith and life. These are texts that uplift, texts for contemplation and reflection – a companion throughout the year, a source of inspiration, an entry point into the work of Karl Barth.
