I have mentioned many times how much I enjoy reading First Things. It's an incomparable journal of religion, culture, and politics and its contributors include many of the best and brightest thinkers from those realms. However, every once in a while the magazine has a way of losing you in the deep theological weeds. Here's an example from the May 2007 issue (sub req):
Whether or not they are interested in Karl Barth, students of Catholic theology should read "The Theology of Karl Barth" to gain a more complete understanding of the relentlessly soteriological structure and latent Christocentrism of the post-Reformation Catholic tradition that we ignore today.
It's funny because just the other day JB was recommending almost exactly the same thing.
