'he is a perceptive guide and has done enough to whet our appetites
for his answers'
Daniel Jenkins, Times Literary Supplement
`The continuing emergence of Oxford Theological Monographs is to be
greatly welcomed ... "Revelatory Positivism?" is no exception in
opening up dimensions of the background and thought of Barth that
have been little studied.'
Journal of Theological Studies
'This book with its copious notes, appendices and index should be
essential reading for students of theology, even if they are not
solely interested in the Marburg School. It also makes accessible
in English much material not hitherto available to those without
German.'
A.S. Halford-MacLeod. Newscan
`an important monograph on a neglected area of Barth studies ...
his earliest liberal writings on philosophy of religion have been
scarcely noticed. Dr Fisher's book seeks to make good the omission
... The great strength of the book is its immensely careful
scholarship, both in examining the details of the texts to which it
gives attention and in setting them in their cultural and
intellectual contexts ... Fisher's work sets high standards of
meticulous
scholarship, and readers should be grateful for a book which not
only traces a neglected part of the intellectual background to
contemporary theology but also extends their sense of what is
happening in the
most complex and ramified theological oeuvre of the century'
