Publisher's Synopsis
The Theological Declaration of Barmen of 1934, the 'Magna Charta' of the Confessional Church, is one of the most famous ecclesiastical texts of the 20th century. Its historical influence is iridescent, mainly because the declaration was used to legitimize quite different viewpoints. In a concise and comprehensible way, this volume sheds light on the genesis and content of the declaration as well as on its varied reception history.
