The Epistle to the Romans

Der Römerbrief

Karl Barth · 1886–1968

A commentary that reads less like exegesis than an explosion: a Swiss village pastor, disillusioned by his teachers' support for the war, insists that God is not the highest human value but the one who confronts every human project as its crisis.
