Christ is Time: The Gospel According to Karl Barth (and the Red Hot Chili Peppers)

Using both an insightful and playful approach, Edwards analyzes the teachings of the Swiss Protestant theologian Karl Barth. Looking particularly at Barth's Church Dogmatics — a four volume work that explores principles of the Christian gospel — Edwards blends these religious topics with music of our generation. In addition to through-provoking discussions on Barth’s work, Christ is Time (Cascade Books)  offers a playlist of great hits from a variety of bands including Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, and Metallica, on trinity, Christology, prayer, and more.
