...gambols through the tango, the twist, and an agitated bit of neo-'20s dance nonsense called "the kangaroo." After his appearance in this wan swan song of the Broadway season, Cesare Siepi can always go back to the Met; Karnilova will dance again. In Rome's palmier days, the rest of Bravo Giovanni would have been thrown to the lions...
Many of them seem to have a common purpose: to consolidate the best historical and cultural learning of igth century "liberal" theology with the most relevant doctrinal insights of 20th century "neo-orthodoxy."

Essentially, Barth is a Christological theologian, whose uniquely modern thought centers around ancient realities: faith, the Bible, the church. He has a philosopher's knowledge of philosophy, but unlike such contemporaries as Tillich or Bultmann, Barth is wary of restating the dogmas of the church in nontraditional language. His thought is complex, but he nonetheless...
