I have been interested in that for awhile now. I wrote a paper last spring on Barth's interpretation of Galatians (specifically, Gal. 2:20) in the Church Dogmatics in order to see how Barth might weigh in on the "pistis Christou" debate. A major lacuna in the debate, particularly in the writings of Hays and Dunn, is any real engagement with theological voices. Hays brings up Bultmann and Torrance, but only because they wrote on the topic from a NT perspective.<BR/><BR/>For what it's worth, the most fascinating passage in the entire CD is II/2, 559. This is where Barth explicitly supports the subjective genitive, and even though he tends to use the objective genitive later in CD IV, I think the insights he establishes in II/2 are still operative throughout the rest of his dogmatics. I have a lot more to say on this, but it deserves a post of its own.<BR/><BR/>I wish I could be in San Diego this fall! I'm sure you'll have a great time.David W.
