Summary/Abstract: Some Reflections on Karl Barth's Ecclesiology, Exposed in Tome L'Eglise. The teaching on Church is situated in the highlight of all theologians of all Christian confessions, Contemporary Protestant Theology manifests a great interest for ecclesiology. We shall refer to the ecclesiology exposed in his book L'Eglise (Die Kirche) by the most remarkable personality of contemporary Protestantism, representative of the dialectical Theology or the Theology of crisis - Karl Barth. With Karl Barth, event is the term in which is concentrated the whole sense of Church's being. The Church - event makes possible the real meeting man - God in Christ. The Church is the event of God's word and also that of man's answer (in front of Him). The usual, normal form of this event is the local community. According to orthodox teaching, it is possible to say that Church is the event of the permanent presence of the Holy Spirit which unites the Head with the Body of Christ (Church).
