An update from the Center for Barth Studies.

"I learned in late July that the center was awarded a third Scholarly Editions and Translations grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). These grants enable the translation of Barth’s work into English to continue. Most scholars or students of Karl Barth do not know how little of his work has been translated into English. Most know that Barth’s wrote the Church Dogmatics, but many don’t know that he also wrote the Collected Works, which is 57 volumes of his sermons, academic works, shorter writings, correspondence, and conversations. Of the 57 volumes that currently exist in the Collected Works, only 21 volumes have been translated and published in English to date. The Karl Barth-Archiv in Basel estimates that another 15–20 volumes will be added to the Collected Works in the coming years, since all of his manuscripts have not been edited yet! The translation project of Barth’s work into English will go well beyond my lifetime, and I’m thrilled that the NEH continues to invest in making this project a reality."
— Dr. Kaitlyn Dugan
