Reconciled Humanity

“An important contribution to contemporary theology by one of Europe’s finest young theologians. Hans Vium Mikkelsen’s dynamic rereading of Barth looks beyond the Swiss giant, and the enduring questions he raised, to discover new answers for a new generation.”
— William Stacy Johnson

“Mikkelsen’s passionate reading of Barth serves, as he says, ‘to show how vital a dialogue partner Barth is for contemporary theology.’ But this seemingly straightforward proposal leads to a significant widening of conventional approaches to the author of the Church Dogmatics. While always staying close to Barth’s text, Mikkelsen shows how that same text can be opened up for fruitful dialogue. . . . This book will encourage students who might be put off by Barth’s apparent dogmatic certitude to take a freer and more open approach to what remains one of the twentieth century’s defining contributions to Christian thought.”
