When Swiss theologian Karl Barth (1886-1968) sought the root of the crisis of German theology at the beginning of the 20th century in the face of the rise of Nazism, says Clough (ethics and systematic theology, St. John's College, Durham, England), he found it in the crisis of the possibility of theology in the face of a God who cannot be comprehended by people, and responded with dialectical theology. He argues that the same crisis underlies the crisis of theological ethics at the beginning of the 21st century in the face of postmodern uncertainty and fundamentalist certainty, and that Barth's response is illuminating for how people respond to this crisis.
