Karl Barth Society of North America
Karl Barth and Christian Nationalism
The Karl Barth Society of North America invites proposals for papers on the work of Karl Barth in relation to Christian nationalism, past and the present. Topics that might be engaged include Barth’s attitude toward nationalism in his work during and soon after World War I, Theological Existence Today!, Barth’s response to the “German Christians” and Nazism, and Barth’s approach to nationalism during the Cold War. We also welcome papers that consider Barth’s work in relation to Christian nationalism as a North American and global phenomenon.
Founded in 1972, the Karl Barth Society of North America (KBSNA) exists to encourage exploration of—and critical and constructive engagement with—the theological legacy of Karl Barth, one of the most important and influential figures in twentieth century Christian theology. The Society typically hosts two public sessions during the AAR/SBL meeting each year, with the first often scheduled on the Friday afternoon before the official start of the annual meeting. In addition, the Society works in close collaboration with the Center for Barth Studies at Princeton Theological Seminary to foster engagement with Karl Barth’s life and work. Membership is open to all those interested in and supportive of the Society’s aims and is secured by an inexpensive annual subscription; a discounted student rate is available. Enquiries can be directed to the Society’s general secretary, Philip Ziegler (University of Aberdeen, p.ziegler@abdn.ac.uk).
