stupid question du jour: is Markus Barth related to Karl?
Markus (1919-1994) was Karl's second child and the first of three sons. He was a fine NT scholar, teaching in the US for about twenty years, writing excellent commentaries on Colossians and Ephesians, and, with his social and ecumenical understanding of justification, anticipating the New Perspectives on Paul.
Thanks Chris, I've added the link to Nate's review.
Ben, another thing to note about Markus Barth: his work on baptism in the NT had a very significant influence on his father's doctrine of baptism (CD IV/4).
