Synopses & Reviews
Synopsis
This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable. This collection of lectures by Charlotte von Kirschbaum, secretary and close personal friend of Karl Barth, establishes von Kirschbaum as a theologian in her own right. Published here in English for the first time are von Kirschbaum's lectures, which address important early feminist issues: the divinely ordained nature of relationships between the sexes and the rights of women to lay and ordained ministry in the church. An intriguing introduction by Eleanor Jackson explores von Kirschbaum and Barth's lifelong relationship.
