==European trunk and root==
The European portion of neo-orthodoxy was in fact the movement's trunk and root. The root is clearly the work of Karl Barth yet it was intially not his but those of his colleague Emil Brunner read by the Americans [[Reinhold Niebuhr]] and [[H. Richard Niebuhr]]. It was the Niebuhr's who helped arrange for English translations of Brunner's work. English translations of BartBarth's work did not appear until after those of Brunner's. From an Anglo-American perspective Bart's work suffers from and is mired in the swamps of German dialectical thought. Hegelian dialectical thought is steadfastly rejected by the Anglo-American Academy (for example, the British academic [[Karl Popper]] waged a war consisting of many battles against dialectical thought, which is apparently as desctructive to the British and American Academy ,and as an incompatible, as pluggin plugging in a 120V/60Hz American appliance into a 240V/50Hz European outlet). Unlike BartBarth's work, Emil Brunner's did not dwell on what is alterantively alternatively called continental, Hegelian, and German dialectic.
