AB This article focuses on the sermons that Karl Barth preached in the prison at Basel between August 1954 and June 1959. It draws particular attention to Barth's view that although his listeners are incarcerated for crimes that they have committed, we all, in effect, are living in prison houses of our own making and are in no less need of the liberating gospel promises based on the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Three sermons that express the various nuances and implications of this view are presented in some detail. In conclusion, I suggest that Barth's prison sermons are reflective of the experiential model of theological diagnosis and that they are essentially congruent with the wounded healer pastoral model.
