A seminar course in which will be considered the following questions raised by Barth: 1) What is world history and how does the people of God see itself in it and live in it? 2) What is the nature of the Christian community’s knowledge of, solidarity with, and obligation to the world? 3) What is the content of the Christian community’s task? What are its limits, and what are the promises and the final promise given it? 4) What are the forms of the community’s ministry? 5) How does the community understand itself as situated in the threefold parousia of Christ? 6) What is the impact of Christ’s sending of the church on the individual Christian?
