Marty Folsom is our guest on the Crackers and Grape Juice podcast this week.
Marty Folsom received his PhD, at the University of Otago in New Zealand, where he has taught biblical studies and theology, and in several Seattle area schools over the last three decades. He is the author of the Face to Face trilogy and has published articles in various journals, including the Scottish Journal of Theology.
Marty’s latest project is Karl Barth’s Church Dogmatics for Everyone, A Guided Tour of One of the Greatest Theological Works of the Twentieth Century.
Karl Barth’s Church Dogmatics is considered by many to be the most important theological work of the twentieth century, and for many people reading it, or at least understanding its contents and arguments, is a lifelong goal. Yet its enormous size, at over 12,000 pages (in English translations) and enough print volumes to fill an entire shelf, make reading it a daunting prospect for seasoned theologians and novices alike.
Karl Barth’s Church Dogmatics for Everyone, Volume 1–The Doctrine of the Word of God helps bridge the gap for would-be Karl Barth readers, from beginners to professionals, by offering an introduction to Barth’s theology and thought like no other. User-friendly and creative, this guide helps readers get the gist, significance, and relevance of what Barth intended for the church… to restore the focus of theology and revitalize the practices of the church.
