KARL BARTH IS NOW REGARDED AS THE GREAT PROPHET OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY. "Barth's Christology has, it is said, spoken the liberating word for our day.

"The first time I heard the expression Reformed theology, I was not much attracted to it," writes William Edgar. What came to mind were abuses done in its name. "My mind was changed over a period of time," he goes on to say, and here he commends the richness and beauty of the Reformed worldview he now cherishes. Edgar traces the origin of the Reformed faith, explores its central truths, and pro…
