In what he characterizes as an exercise in the genre of commentary, Price (theology, Talbot School of Theology, California) offers a close reading and analysis of a single text, rather than arguing a specific thesis. His goal is to interpret Barth's Church Dogmatics II/1 with a combination of observation, clarification, and argumentation. The study is divided into four sections covering the being of God as the one who loves in freedom, the perfections of God, the perfections of the divine loving, and the perfections of the divine freedom.
