About this ebook

This second collection of sermons preached by Karl Barth in Basel prison won the same high praise as its predecessor, Deliverance to the Captives. 'In a mere twelve sermons much of Barth's greatness comes through, his faith, his heart and compassion', wrote the Times Literary Supplement, and the Church of England Newspaper remarked; 'We find revealed here the deep and pastoral concern which lies behind the theological genius of Barth'. Whether beginning from the Old Testament or the New, Barth has a unique gift of becoming a vehicle for conveying the majesty and the glory of God who is at the same time the God of mercy and loving-kindness.
