Abstract
In general, the problem under investigation is in what way and to what extent Karl Barth agrees in his doctrine of the Trinity with the traditional orthodox trinitarian theology formulated by representative theologians during the first four centuries of the Christian Church as well as those condemned doctrines formulated by their opposing heretics. Barth has often been accused of Modalism by some and conversely defended against this view by others. We have felt the importance of settling in some way this nebulous debate by addressing this investigation more specifically in the direction of Modalism, and it is mainly within this scope or aspect of the doctrine of the Trinity that we are limiting ourselves. Toward the end, however, it becomes necessary to go somewhat outside our limits in order to get a better perspective of Barth's position within these limits.
