The period covered by the volumes in the Early Barth series--1905 to 1933--saw Barth emerge from his training under such theological giants as Adolf von Harnack and Wilhelm Herrmann; assert his rejection of liberal Protestant theology in his towering commentary on Romans; and work through an earlier uncertainty to become a critic on theological grounds of the rise of Nazism. These volumes contain English translations of essays, lectures, academic papers, correspondences, editorials, and other writings that were not previously translated into English, and they provide insight into the development of Barth's theology during this crucial period of his life.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVolume 2 of \u003cem\u003eThe Early Barth--Lectures and Shorter Works\u003c\/em\u003e covers the period in Barth's career when he served as a pastor, first in Geneva and then in Safenwil, Swizerland, and up through the point where his theology takes a decisive turn in response to the outbreak of the First World War.
