Summary: A truly fascinating and perceptive survey
Review: Ever Against The Stream: The Politics Of Karl Barth, 1906-1968 is an impressive and informative survey drawn from the many speeches and letters of Karl Barth, a man who spoke loudly against National Socialism in Germany and Switzerland, and who confronted enemies among those in the churches in Switzerland who wanted to give the state more absolute power over its citizenry. A truly fascinating and perceptive survey of the life, beliefs, and outspoken testimony of a remarkable and idealistic man, Ever Against The Stream is very highly recommended reading for students of Political Science and 20th Century International Studies.
