No Other Word of God: Confessing Barmen 90 Years Later

The Center for Barth Studies is excited to announce a free one-day hybrid event on May 10th titled “No Other Word of God: Confessing Barmen 90 Years Later.”

The Barmen Declaration, written primarily by Karl Barth in 1934, was the manifesto of the Confessing Church during the Nazi period in Germany.  Designed to prevent the capitulation of the  churches to hostile cultural forces, it has been accorded authoritative status throughout the Protestant world for its emphasis on the centrality and all-sufficiency of Christ.

This free event one-day hybrid celebrates the 90th anniversary of the Barmen Declaration. Notable historians and theologians will give papers and reflections on the declaration, both for its historical significance and its meaning and relevance for  today. The event will also include a closing discussion panel.

Speakers include Victoria Barnett, Eberhard Busch, Raymond Carr, Karlfried Fröhlich, Stanley Hauerwas, George Hunsinger, Kara Slade, and Katherine Sonderegger.
