Review # 1 was written on 2014-02-13 00:00:00 James Sickels Did zone out a lot and fall asleep from reading this book... Fav. part: "The communion sacrifice described in Leviticus 7 is an important root of the Christian understanding of the Eucharist as a sacrificial meal. In the thanksgiving offering, both grain and animal offerings are presented to God. Part is burnt on God's altar, part belongs to the priests, and part is given to the worshipers, who eat it on the first and second days of the sacrifice. Then the holy food is destroyed. The ritual surrounding the consumption of the offerings by the worshipers emphasizes the sacred bond of communion with God created by eating the food offered to God."

Review # 2 was written on 2013-07-02 00:00:00 James Smith In a word: magisterial. In fact, I have been so moved by Barth's theology, at one point I decided to summarize every subsection in the first volume. Here are the fruits of that labor, in case it will help you, dear reader: 1.1 §1 "The Task of Dogmatics" pp. 1-24 002: 1.1 §2 "The Task of Prolegomena to Dogmatics" pp. 25-44 003: 1.1 §3.1 "Talk About God and Church Proclamation" pp. 47-71 004: 1.1 §3.2-4.1 "The Word of God In Its Threefold Form" pp. 71-99 005: 1.1 §4.2-4.4 "The Word of God In Its Threefold Form" pp. 99-124 006: 1.1 §5.1-5.3 "The Nature of the Word of God" pp. 125-162 007: 1.1 §5.4-6.2 "The Nature of the Word of God" pp. 162-198 009: 1.1 §6.3 "The Word of God and Experience" pp. 198-227 010: 1.1 §6.4 "The Word of God and Faith" pp. 227-247 011: 1.1 §7.1 "The Word of God, Dogma, and Dogmatics" pp. 248-275 012: 1.1 §7.2-7.3 "The Word of God, Dogma, and Dogmatics" pp. 275-292 013: 1.1 §8.1-8.2 "The Revelation of God" pp. 295-333 014: 1.1 §8.3 "Vestigium Trinitatis" pp. 333-347 015: 1.1 §9.1 "Unity in Trinity" pp. 348-353 016: 1.1 §9.2 "Trinity in Unity" pp. 353-368 017: 1.1 §9.3 "Triunity" pp. 368-375 018: 1.1 §9.4 "The Meaning of the Doctrine of the Trinity" pp. 375-383 019: 1.1 §10.1 "God as Creator" pp. 384-390 020: 1.1 §10.2 "The Eternal Father" pp. 390-398 021: 1.1 §11.1 "God as Reconciler" pp. 399-414 022: 1.1 §11.2 "The Eternal Son" pp. 414-447 023: 1.1 §12.1 "God as Redeemer" pp. 448-466 024: 1.1 §12.2 "The Eternal Spirit" pp. 466-489
