==European trunk and root==
−
The European portion of neo-orthodoxy was in fact the movements roots and trunk.  It was started by Karl Barth and it was intially not his but the works of his colleague Emil Brunner's work who was 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 Bart's work did not appear until after those of Brunner's.  From an Anglo-American perspective Bart's work suffers from 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 what is apparently as desctructive and as an incompatible as pluggin in a 120V/60Hz American appliance into a 240V/50Hz European outlet).  Unlike Bart's work,  Emil Brunner's did not dwell on continental dialectic.
