Summary

Karl Barth's repudiations of Friedrich Schleiermacher alternated with words of respect - and even affection - for that other giant of modern theology.  To recall Barth's quarrel is to ask whether these two representatives of the major divergence in post-Enlightenment theology might not hold more in common then either would admit.

In this volume a dozen scholars and theologians reassess the divergence, penetrate to foundational issues, and look beyond the liberal/neo-orthodox impasse to reorient contemporary theology.
