Sommario/riassunto

Described by Pope Pius XII as the most important theologian since



Thomas  Aquinas, the Swiss pastor and theologian, Karl Barth, continues to be a  major influence on students, scholars and preachers today. Barth's  theology found its expression mainly through his closely reasoned  fourteen-part magnum opus, <i>Die Kirchliche Dogmatik</i>. Having taken over 30  years to write, the <i>Church Dogmatics</i> is regarded as one of the most  important theological works of all time, and represents the pinnacle of  Barth's achievement as a theologian.
