As the principal author of "The Barmen Declaration," he was the intellectual leader of the German Confessing Church, the Protestant group that resisted the Third Reich.

Among Barth's many books, sermons and essays, the multivolume "Church Dogmatics" - a closely reasoned, eloquently stated argument in nearly ten thousand pages - stands out as the crown of his achievement.Volume three, part one presents Barth's "The Work of Creation"."Church Dogmatics", assembled in 14 volumes, represents the pinnacle of Karl Barth's theological achievement - one of the most significant and clearly-reasoned expressions of theology of all time.

It is available in hardcover and paperback (since January 2004).
