Fully Alive - The Apocalyptic Humanism of Karl Barth

"Fully Alive uses the work of Karl Barth to develop a humanism that can produce a form of Christianity that gives people hope in a time of uncertainty. It is assumed that Christianity no longer has social and political power but that makes possible a church that may actually tell the truth. Besides Barth, Reinhold Niebuhr plays a prominent role in the book, and race is treated in a retrospective essay"--

Summary

Living through an apocalyptic time, Swiss theologian Karl Barth influenced Christianity in the twentieth century profoundly. In Fully Alive, Stanley Hauerwas demonstrates that Barth’s radical theological perspective is particularly relevant and applicable to the challenges of our own time.
