This volume builds on recent engagements with Barth in theologies of religion, and opens new conversation between Barth and comparative theology. In each of six religion-specific sections, two theologians offer focused engagements of Barth with themes and figures from another religious tradition, followed by response from a theologian from that tradition itself.
