Abstract
"May I begin by being somewhat autobiographical? From 1934 to 1936 I read for the degree of Ph.D. in the University of Edinburgh. In the second of those academic years there was a room vacant in the Divinity Students' Hostel of the Church of Scotland and I became its tenant. Not all my fellow-tenants were ordinands, but many were. At this time Karl Barth had become a major factor in life at the ordinand level. Hitler had been two years in power in Germany and it was the Confessional Church-that part of German Protestantism that acknowledged only Scripture (and Scripture as understood by the Reforms) as of supreme authority-which was offering real and sustained opposition to the Nazis, while the greater part of the German Protestant Church was calling itself German ,Christian and acclimatising itself to the Third Reich."
