Am I in error when I have the impression that quite extensively in the world of Anglo-Saxon theology there is a definite aversion to voluminous books as such, and a certain preference for summaries that are easily understandable and may be repeated in simple catchwords? . . . Am I deceived when I have the impression that there I exist in the phantasy of far too many—even of the best men—mainly only in the form of certain, for the most part, hoary summations; of certain pictures hastily dashed off by some person at some time, and for the sake of convenience, just as hastily accepted, and then copied endlessly, and which, of course, can be easily dismissed? Should I weep or laugh? Is this the only way I am known in the English-speaking theological world in spite of all the translations that have appeared so far? How does one read? How does one really study there, even when the opportunity and possibility for study were offered through the existence of translations? ~Karl Barth
