SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Can Barth's theology contribute to the development of post-Shoa theology? It is argued in the North American context that Barth remains tied to a Christian tradition of anti-Semitism. Scholars committed to renewal of Jewish-Christian relations learn from the radical legacy of Barth's theology of Israel while at the same time critically distancing themselves from his limitations. This paper attempts to analyze Barth's theology of election and Israel for the sake of Jewish-Christian mutuality and its implications for interreligious peace.
