KARL BARTH: AGAINST HEGEMONY.(Review) (book review)

First Things: A Monthly Journal of Religion and Public Life, April, 2000

KARL BARTH: AGAINST HEGEMONY. By TIMOTHY J. GORRINGE. Oxford University Press. 312 pp. $ 70 cloth, $19.95 paper.

A volume in a series presenting the most notable theologians and theological movements in Christian history. As the subtitle suggests, this is a "rehabilitation" of Barth that asks us to overlook his political incorrectness on the usual scores (patriarchy, homosexuality, etc.) and accept him into the company of the good Protestant liberals against whom he contended all his life. The author, who teaches theology at the University of Exeter, gives us safe Barth, which is the one thing Barth never was.
