- These two articles (one in 'Dahlke and Grosshans, Ökumene im Denken', 2020; the other in 'Theologische Rundschau 85', 2020; together 118 pages) were originally intended as a single project tracing the entire history of the Anglican reception of Karl Barth’s theology. For reasons of space, however, the original article has been divided into two separate but closely related articles. The first article establishes the methodology according to which both articles are structured, namely, the division of Anglican Barth reception into five epochs and the use of the categories of ‘direct impact’ and ‘stimulation’ to identify the ways in which Barth’s theology has influenced Anglicanism. After tracing the Barth-reception of the first four epochs from the 1920s, when Anglophone theologians first became aware of Barth’s thought, up until the Barth centenary of 1986, the first article concludes with briefly sketching how Barth’s theology was taken up with renewed vigour following the conferences celebrating Barth’s centenary in 1986. The second article takes up this story in much greater detail, focusing on the fifth epoch of Barth reception from 1986 to the present. The first article can be regarded as an essential prolegomenon to the second article without which the second article’s impact would be diminished. The renaissance of Anglican Barth studies since 1986 and the creative ways in which Anglican theologians have taken up impulses from Barth in the development of their own theologies becomes particularly apparent when contrasted with the Anglican reception of Barth covered in the earlier study. The article concludes with considering the resources Barth provides for constructing the coherent theology contemporary Anglicanism so desperately needs. Ideally, the two articles ought to have been published as a single volume, but the author’s publishing commitments compelled him to divide what is in fact a continuous argument into two separate articles.

- English abstract
- These two articles together identify five epochs in the Anglican reception of Karl Barth. After investigating Barth’s knowledge of Anglican theology, the first article traces the first four epochs of Barth reception by the three factions within Anglicanism, namely, Anglo-Catholicism, Liberal Modernism, and Evangelicalism, from the 1920s until the Barth centenary of 1986. The second article traces Anglican Barth reception from 1986 until the present, demonstrating how Barth’s theology has been taken up as a resource for creative theological thinking on the part of Anglican theologians or has provided the foil against which new theological approaches have been developed. <br/><br/>
