A short study of Karl Barth's ethics, about 110 pages, published by Lippincott in Philadelphia in 1969, its subtitle naming the theme of freedom. It followed Oden's earlier study of Rudolf Bultmann's ethics and his use of Barth in Kerygma and Counseling. Library records give little of its contents, so nothing more is said here.
