It met at Victoria University in Toronto on October 26 to 28, 1972, and was entitled: "The Theology of Karl Barth." The addresses by Markus Barth and Arthur Cochrane were given during the Colloquium Dinner; the others were more 'formal' and followed by at times very animated discussion. During that colloquium the Karl Barth Society of North America was inaugurated. Its aim, far from being a personality-cult of Karl Barth, is to encourage a critical and constructive theology through the exploration of his work. It is envisaged that the assistance given to the Karl Barth Stiftung in Europe in its purpose to collect and preserve all literature by and about Karl Barth, the publication of a complete edition of his works together with the establishment on this Continent of a similar collection will make available for theological research materials that will adequately meet the proposed aim. Both the academic and the pastoral areas of theology are meant to benefit from the endeavours of this Society. ?from the Introduction by Martin Rumscheidt 410 0$aSR supplements. 606 $aProtestantism 615 0$aProtestantism. 676 $a230/.4/0924 701 $aRumscheidt$b Martin$0900142 712 02$aCorporation for the Publication of Academic Studies in Religion in Canada. 712 02$aKarl Barth Society of North America. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910151626203321 996 $aFootnotes to a theology$92011013 997 $aUNINA
