Word in This World: Two Sermons by Karl Barth

This volume contains two sermons by the early twentieth-century theologian and pastor Karl Barth. The first sermon, given upon the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, appears in print here for the first time ever. The second sermon, given in 1934 during Nazi ascendancy, appears for the first time in English translation. With a substantial introduction by Bishop William H. Willimon, this volume is an indispensable resource not only for Barth scholars, but also for anyone concerned with the presence of the Word in this world.
