Abstract
Abstract The paper explores the reception of Karl Barth’s theology in Indonesia by engaging with select theologians who wrote introductions to his theology in the local language. It argues that Barth’s theology can contribute fruitfully to local conversations only if more patience and understanding are reflected in the theological engagement. However, this is not yet the case, as exemplified in several select theologians, who are introduced and assessed in a retrospective evaluation of local reception. Despite some hopeful recent developments, more serious engagements need to be done before his theology could meaningfully interact with local questions and insights. In prospect, the paper suggests several theological loci that are potentially insightful for future conversations.
