In the Shadow of Karl Barth: Charlotte von Kirschbaum

by Renate Koebler, Keith Crim (Translator)

Overview

This in-depth portrait of Charlotte von Kirschbaum examines the notable influence she exerted on Karl Barth and his writings. In the Shadow of Karl Barth also includes two of von Kirschbaum's own lectures, notably "The Role of Women in the Proclamation of the Word," an important contribution to feminist thought. Through personal interviews and contacts with relatives and friends of both Barth and von Kirschbaum, author Renate Koebler frees von Kirschbaum from obscurity, keeping her memory fresh. Koebler's work will be of special interest to seminarians, church historians, theologians, and all readers concerned with women and religion.
