Center for Barth Studies at Princeton Theological Seminary

Since its founding in 1997, the Center for Barth Studies (CBS) has been an essential provider of information, resources, events, and programs related to the life and work of the Swiss Reformed theologian Karl Barth (1886-1968). CBS is devoted to providing a space for Princeton Theological Seminary patrons, visiting scholars and students, pastors, and lay persons to engage with the work and legacy of Karl Barth both in person and online. We hope to further knowledge and advance understanding of Barth’s work and reception. To that end, CBS maintains and develops an exhaustive resource collection of works by and about Karl Barth, hosts annual conferences for scholars and pastors as well as a yearly translator’s seminar, facilitates reading groups, and assists with the research needs of all inquirers. CBS is also responsible for creating and ensuring the quality of the English language online version of the Church Dogmatics. CBS aims to be a globally connected research center that serves both the academy and the church worldwide.
