The Forthcoming hath Come Forth: Karl Barth and the Future of Evangelical Theology

Several months ago, I posted (on my former blog) a head’s up about a forthcoming book on Barth and Evangelical Theology, co-edited by Christian Collins Wynn and John Drury. That forthcoming book has now come forth. I haven’t had a chance to see it yet, since I had to miss AAR this year, where I’m told it appeared in its shining glory. But it looks to be a compelling volume. As it always has been, evangelical theology is very much in flux, with opportunities to develop in fresh new directions. A revisiting of evangelical theology, in the spirit of Donald Dayton’s many “varieties” of evangelical Christianity, while attending freshly to insights from Barth, offers a nudge in the right direction.

I was honored to contribute an essay to this volume on Karl Barth and the missional church, using the theme of “witness” to suggest some potentially fruitful theological paths for the missional church to pursue. I look forward to the conversations that may arise as a result of this new text.
