In this short book, The Church and the War, Karl Barth examines teh response of European churches to World War II and writes to American churches on what the gospel required of them in that era. With lessons for the contemporary world and insightful commentary of his own time, Barth's focus on the gospel is unrelenting, reminding believers that they do not owe ultimate allegiance to any state and that the gospel is always paramount.
