Karl Barth
Karl Barth was a Swiss Reformed theologian who is often regarded as the greatest Protestant theologian of the twentieth century. His work had a major impact on Christian thought, particularly through his book 'Church Dogmatics,' a multi-volume work that covers in depth the core doctrines of Christianity. Barth's theology was a response to liberal theology of the 19th century and was deeply rooted in the Reformation, especially the teachings of John Calvin. His emphasis on the sovereignty of God and the centrality of Jesus Christ in revelation and salvation were hallmarks of his work.

1. The Word of God and the Word of Man
This book presents a series of sermons that challenge the traditional religious understanding of the time. The author argues that the word of God should not be confined to the Bible alone, but should also include the divine revelation through Jesus Christ. He emphasizes the importance of faith and the need for a personal relationship with God, while criticizing the church for its institutionalization and its focus on rituals and dogma. The book is considered a cornerstone in the development of neo-orthodox theology.
