Swiss theologian Karl Barth (1886-1968) was one of the most important religious thinkers of the twentieth century. His landmark works include The Epistle to the Romans and his unfinished four-volume Church Dogmatics. He’s also known for coauthoring “The Barmen Declaration” as part of the German Confessing Church – the Protestant group that opposed the Third Reich. Barth’s writings have been translated into multiple languages, and he was featured on the cover of Time magazine in 1962.
