The book explores the significant relationship between the cultural movement of Expressionism in early 20th-century Germany and the theological revolution initiated by Swiss pastor Karl Barth. It offers a thorough analysis of how these two movements intersect, addressing a gap in scholarly research. Additionally, it examines Barth's theology and Expressionist culture within the context of the Enlightenment, emphasizing Barth's insights from his lesser-known work. This study reveals the lasting impact of both movements on modern culture and theology.
