Background A short guide to reading Barth's Epistle to the Romans The prefaces The gospel and the night (Rom 1) ; Unrighteousness abounds (Rom 2) ; The twofold righteousness of God (Rom 3) ; The light of history within history (Rom 4) ; The new human being, the coming world (Rom 5) ; Grace, resurrection, and obedience (Rom 6) ; The freedom of God and religion (Rom 7) ; The Holy Spirit (Rom 8) ; The church's suffering (Rom 9) ; The church's guilt (Rom 10) ; The church's hope (Rom 11) ; God, ethics, and disturbance (Rom 12-15) ; The apostle, the community, and the Episle to the Romans (Rom 15-16) ; Conclusion.
Summary: Karl Barth's 1922 The Epistle to the Romans is one of the most famous, notorious, and influential works in twentieth-century theology and biblical studies. It is also a famously and notoriously difficult and enigmatic work, especially as its historical context becomes more and more foreign. In this book, Kenneth Oakes provides historical background to the writing of The Epistle to the Romans, an introduction and analysis of its main themes and terms, a running commentary on the text itself, and suggestions for further readings from Barth on some of the issues it raises. The volume not only offers orientation and assistance for those reading The Epistle to the Romans for the first time, it also deals with contemporary problems in current Barth scholarship regarding liberalism, dialectics, and analogy.
