⁴ For a discussion of these terms as they pertain to Barth's later theology, see my How to Read Karl Barth: The Shape of His Theology (Oxford University Press, 1991)Google Scholar, where I propose that in the Church Dogmatics the personalist aspects of Barth's theology are the internal basis of his objectivism, and that the objectivist aspects are the external basis of his personalism (p. 41).

⁵ It should perhaps be noted that in this essay I have interpreted the development of Barth's theology in the first volume of The Göttingen Dogmatics by implicitly and explicitly drawing upon the ‘motifs’ I set forth in How to Read Karl Barth, where they are used to illuminate the shape of his later theology in the Church Dogmatics: actualism, personalism, objectivism, particularism, realism, rationalism.
