This volume puts Barth and liberation theologies in critical and
constructive conversation. With incisive essays from a range of noted
scholars, it forges new connections between Barth's expansive corpus and
the multifaceted world of Christian liberation theology. It shows how
Barth and liberation theologians can help us to make sense of - and
perhaps even to respond to - some of the most pressing issues of our
day: race and racism in the United States; changing understandings of
sex, gender, and sexuality; the ongoing degradation of the ecosphere;
the relationship between faith, theological reflection, and the arts;
the challenge of decolonizing Christian thought; and ecclesial and
political life in the Global South.
