Deliverance to the Captives by Karl Barth

Loaned to me by my pastor when I asked about Barth. As he said, this collection of sermons shows his heart more than his technical theology. Most of the sermons were delivered to services in a prison, hence the title. The sermons are wonderful, thoughtful and moving. He speaks methodically about a brief text and exhorts the listener to believe the good news. Some major emphases point to his central thoughts. Everything is centered in Christ and what he has done for us. This is the Word of God. Apart from Christ we cannot know or understand or receive God. In Christ we can be saved from our awful state. This is given to everyone without cost, without exception.
