Karl Barth's Anti‐Ideological Theology: A Reconsideration of Barth's Approach to Philosophy
Barth's approach to borrowing from philosophical figures and schools is underwritten by several convictions that made such an approach intelligible.

5 Lessons Christians Can Learn from the Barmen Declaration
How a wartime confession resisted Hitler's Nazification of the German church, and why its principles are still relevant today. In recent weeks, a group of evangelicals crafted a Confession of Evangelical Conviction in response to the "social conflict and political division" plaguing the American church, especially amid another contentious presidential election season.
Voices: Three responses to The Widening of God’s Mercy
Like many, I greeted with great anticipation the announcement several months ago of Richard Hays’ newest book, The Widening of God’s Mercy: Sexuality within the Biblical Story, cowritten with his son Christopher.

Epiphany
"This book isn't just about Epiphany; it is filled with epiphanies. In the way only she can, Fleming Rutledge points us anew to the glory of Christ with insight after insight. Thanks to this book, even this low-church evangelical will mark Epiphany this year and, more importantly, will be reminded all year of the way God speaks to us in both the mysterious and the ordinary." "There is no one better to introduce the little-understood church season of Epiphany than Fleming Rutledge.
PODCAST – On Barth's Ecclesiology | Kimlyn Bender
On Barth’s Ecclesiology Kimlyn Bender Professor Kimlyn Bender joins the podcast to share share about his farmers' town upbringing, how he first became interested in studying Karl Barth, and the importance of ecclesiology working out the tension between the academy and the church.

Review by Eugene R. Schlesinger When the first volume of the Brazos Theological Commentary on the Bible appeared 15 years ago, the series promised to fill a much-needed lacuna in theological engagement with the Scriptures. In the intervening years, the landscape has changed considerably, no doubt due, at least in part, to these volumes, whose authors are self-consciously committed to interpreting the Bible through the lens of Nicene orthodoxy.
