Reading this Dorrian book on Barthian theology made me want to run out and buy ‘Epistle to the Romans’ but I see from Amazon that it is 450 pages or something, so it would probably end up a relic.

Judy Stack-Nelson You could just read the six introductions. That what we did. 🙂

Steve Ranney Yes at the point in the book I am at, he is ready to come out with the second edition. But I see that Amazon has the 6th for sale, so I assume that must be the last one.

Judy Stack-Nelson Yes. I don’t know much about these Barthian things, but I know people who do, and they have often said that Dogmatics in Outline is the best as an introduction.

Steve Ranney ‘[in a letter] Barth reported that he could not allow the first edition of his book on Romans to be reprinted, and that for several reasons the book was already alien to him, barely two years after its completion. Barth had written the book in the fresh excitement of what amounted to a conversion experience, but his comprehension of Pauline thinking had subsequently deepened in the course of his further studies of Paul’s letters, especially 1 and 2 Corinthians.’ 6/2011
