This specific 1986 Eerdmans edition was published to celebrate the double anniversary of Mozart's 230th birth year and Barth's 100th birth year. To appeal to American audiences, Eerdmans commissioned the legendary American novelist John Updike to write the foreword, as Updike was deeply fascinated by Barthian theology and frequently wove it into his fiction.
