Introduction: Encountering the otherness of Barth

This is the introductory video in a three-part series in which I present my paper, "Encountering the otherness of Barth: A New Testament scholar reads Der Römerbrief chapters 8-16".

The second - and longest - video will showcase some of the problems biblical scholars may have with Barth's commentary.

The third will present some responses to these concerns and ask what Barth might teach contemporary biblical scholarship.

The paper was originally delivered at the Barth Graduate Student Colloquium in August 2019 (http://barth.ptsem.edu/event/2019-barth-graduate-student-colloquium)
