Željko Tanjić
; Catholic Faculty of Theology University of Zagreb
Abstract
Karl Barth is definitely one of the greatest Protestant theologians, not sufficiently known among the Croatian Catholic public. His lifestyle, points of view and opus have made their mark on the theology of the twentieth century and have had a large impact on its development both in the Protestant and the Catholic spheres, particularly when it comes to understanding of the Word of God. This article presents the most significant elements of his biography, especially those featuring his personality and the influence of his thinking on his life and the life of the Church. The author strives to outline the main characteristics of Karl Barth’s theological thought being aware that it is a virtually impossible task to complete on just a few pages.
Keywords
