Bruce L. McCormack is Chair of Modern Theology at the University of Aberdeen and one of the leading interpreters of Karl Barth working today. He previously spent more than three decades at Princeton Theological Seminary, where he held the Weyerhaeuser and then the Charles Hodge Chair in Systematic Theology before moving to Aberdeen in 2023. His landmark study Karl Barth’s Critically Realistic Dialectical Theology (Oxford, 1995) reshaped Barth scholarship and earned him the international Karl Barth Prize in 1998; more recent work includes The Humility of the Eternal Son (Cambridge, 2021), a reformulation of kenotic Christology. He has delivered the T.F. Torrance, Croall, and Kenneth Kantzer lecture series and holds an honorary doctorate from the University of Jena. He earned his Ph.D. at Princeton in 1989.
