This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable. This collection of lectures by Charlotte von Kirschbaum, secretary and close personal friend of Karl Barth, establishes von Kirschbaum as a theologian in her own right. Published here in English for the first time are von Kirschbaum's lectures, which address important early feminist issues: the divinely ordained nature of relationships between the sexes and the rights of women to lay and ordained ministry in the church. An intriguing introduction by Eleanor Jackson explores von Kirschbaum and Barth's lifelong relationship.

Autorenporträt
Charlotte von Kirschbaum (1899-1975) was born in Ingolstadt in Bavaria and was educated in Munich. She was serving as a Red Cross nurse when, in 1924, she was introduced to Karl Barth, a radical young university lecturer who was to transform the theology of the twentieth century. In 1929, after she had trained as a secretary, she began a partnership with Barth that lasted until her health gave way in 1964. She encouraged Barth to write his monumental Church Dogmatics, herself providing the footnotes, detached notes, and exegesis for the work.
