All but one of the 15 essays were delivered at the June 2007 second annual conference on Barth's (1886-1968) theology, held at Princeton University. The gathering sought to re-examine the mid-century critique of his work by Cornelius Van Til (1895-1987), to lay a new foundation for evangelical engagement with him on certain hot topics, and to explore how his theology might help evangelicals come to grips with contemporary theological movements. The topics include the Dutch origins of Van Til's appraisal, Barth on the hypostatic union, the problems of universalism, and an engagement between Bath and radical orthodoxy.
