July 23, 2017 Update: The Barth Book Giveaway has officially ended. Congratulations to winners: Zach Emerson, Allen Rea, Jessica Paulsen, and Denis C. Pleșa.
The PostBarthian Barth Book Giveaway has now started! We are giving away three paperback copies and one digital copy of Stephen Morrison's Karl Barth In Plain English this week! There are three ways to win, so continue reading to learn about the book and how to enter to win a free copy!
Stephen Morrison's Karl Barth In Plain English
Stephen D. Morrison describes Karl Barth in Plain English as introduction to Karl Barth, that "is a book for beginners, by a beginner" and it aims to be a clear and concise introduction to the theology of Karl Barth. Written from one amateur to another, Stephen hopes to introduce you to Barth's complex thought without all the confusing theological jargon often involved in discussions of his work. It's a great 200 page book that summarizes Karl Barth's key ideas and I really enjoyed the book. For more information about the book, read my recent review.

Cool giveaway! Got a 1933 German commentary on Romans in gothic font, looks awesome but when you’re not used to this font not very readable ;-). So I could use some more readable stuff!
