Instantes. Instantes para la pausa o para la apertura. Instantes para respirar hondo, para reflexionar, para asombrarse, para sonreír, para preguntar. Instantes para mirar hacia lo alto y progresar, para cobrar aliento, para estar contento. Karl Barth, uno de los principales teólogos del siglo XX y maestro reconocido de la palabra adecuada y de la expresión certera, nos invita y anima a vivir tales instantes. De entre su extensa obra, Eberhard Busch ha elegido 94 textos que, en ocasiones, también ha abreviado. En Ellos, Barth nos ofrece su novedosa visión sobre Dios y el mundo, la fe y la vida. Son textos que animan, textos para la reflexión y la meditació una buena compañia, una fuente de inspiración, un acceso a la obra de Karl Barth. EBERHARD BUSCH, nacido en 1937, catedrático de Teología dogmática en la Facultad de Teología de Göttingen y asistente de Karl Barth durante muchos años, es autor de la biografía definitiva de éste y director del Centro de Investigación "Karl Barth".

Protestant theologian Karl Barth, a Swiss, advocated a return to the principles of the Reformation and the teachings of the Bible; his published works include Church Dogmatics from 1932.

Critics hold Karl Barth among the most important Christian thinkers of the 20th century; Pope Pius XII described him as the most important since Saint Thomas Aquinas. Beginning with his experience as a pastor, he rejected his typical predominant liberal, especially German training of 19th century.

Instead, he embarked on a new path, initially called dialectical, due to its stress on the paradoxical nature of divine truth—for instance, God is both grace and judgment), but more accurately called a of the Word. Critics referred to this father of new orthodoxy, a pejorative term that he emphatically rejected. His thought emphasized the sovereignty of God, particularly through his innovative doctrine of election. His enormously influenced throughout Europe and America.
