%X Abstract:  This article considers Karl Barth's understanding of the humanity of Christ in light of remarks on Gethsemane in CD IV/1, §59. I argue that Barth views Christ's humanity as a history in motion, propelled towards crisis; an event of justificatory responsibility; a struggle that marks God's being and human being; and a covenantal rejection of sin and evil. These discrete claims can be gathered into a broader contention: Barth's remarks on Christ's agony in Gethsemane point towards a powerful description of Christ's human identity and agency that runs through the Dogmatics. The article concludes with remarks on the contemporary significance of Barth's Christology.<p />
