The Karl Barth Conference is an annual event hosted by the Center for Barth Studies at Princeton Theological Seminary, dedicated to exploring and deepening engagement with the theology of Karl Barth—one of the most significant theologians of the twentieth century. This conference serves as a gathering point for scholars, pastors, students, and laypeople who seek to reflect on the relevance of Barth’s work for the church and for the world today.
Each year, the conference brings together leading theologians and emerging voices. It engages topics at the intersection of theology, culture, and public life. Through keynote lectures, panel discussions, and worship, the conference creates space for both scholarship and spiritual reflection. As a result, the Karl Barth Conference fosters an environment rooted in rigorous inquiry and faithful conversation.
