Karl Barth (1886–1968) was a Swiss Reformed theologian widely regarded as one of the most influential Christian thinkers of the 20th century. His groundbreaking work "The Epistle to the Romans" challenged liberal theology and sparked the neo-orthodox movement. Barth's magnum opus, the multi-volume "Church Dogmatics," reshaped Protestant theology by emphasizing God's sovereignty, the centrality of Christ, and the primacy of revelation over human reason. He courageously opposed Nazism, helping draft the Barmen Declaration, and was expelled from Germany for refusing to take an oath to Hitler.
