Into The Far Country: Karl Barth And The Modern Subject

Barth and the story of being in modern thought Into the Far Country argues that the theology of Karl Barth offers a form of theological resistance to the Enlightenment's construal of human subjectivity as absolute, and offers a way of talking about the formation of human persons as the process of being laid bare before the cross and resurrection of Christ. It does so by reevaluating the relationship between Barth and modernity, and offers in its place a theology deeply concerned with the triune God's revelatory presence as the ground of a liberating life of kenotic dispossession.
