I have just finished the little book on Barth. It took me a few hours to read it, and I really enjoyed it. It helped me understand where Barth was coming from a little better. Because Barth has been classed as a neo-orthodox, I have shied away from his writings, but I find lots of nuggets in his thoughts. Very good read and well worth the time. The cartoons are fun and helpful! lol

If you want to get a true picture of Martin Luther, read his book "The Jews and their Lies"--if you can stomach it.

Great series - BUT I need more enticement for theological works than this discount - there's more straight reading and less reference hunting here than in exegetical works. For this series, I'd he hunting the print edition rather than the logos one. Now, if you suggested a U$99 I'd become VERY interested.
