KARL BARTH ABOUT CBS EVENTS & PROGRAMS RESEARCH MULTIMEDIA KBSNA ABOUT CBS THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE The Center for Barth Studies is overseen by an eight member advisory committee comprised largely of Princeton Theological Seminary faculty members. The advisory board meets a minimum of two times per academic semester and relays announcements and updates about current scholarly efforts associated with the center to the public. In addition to overseeing the activities and objectives of the center, members of the advisory board are tasked with chairing the annual Karl Barth conference on a rotating basis and co-sponsoring a number of international initiatives in the field of Barth studies. DARRELL GUDER Chair Darrell Guder is Princeton Theological Seminary’s Henry Winters Luce Emeritus Professor of Missional and Ecumenical Theology. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Hamburg.

He used his position as Library Director at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary to visit other research centers and develop the requirements for a center for Barth studies. In 1996, Steve was appointed to the Executive Committee of the KBSNA to identify a suitable home. In 1997, Princeton Seminary’s proposal to host the Barth center was affirmed by the KBSNA Executive Committee and Steve became the James Lenox Librarian at Princeton, a position he held until 2012. Steve hired the Center’s first Director, George Hunsinger, and was actively involved in building bridges between Princeton and the Barth Archive in Basel and Barth’s family, fund raising, and giving shape to the institutional requirements of the Center. Steve’s scholarly interest in Karl Barth lies in the area of Barth’s influence on North American theologians such as Joseph Haroutunian and H. Richard Niebuhr.
