Indirectly, as he influenced Hans Kung in Kung's writings.

What is the basic idea behind his theology? I understand they deviate
from orthodox Christianity.

Barth's works are voluminous. His "Dogmatics" is twelve volumes
spanning a width greater than any encyclopedia I've seen. He is also
said to be "incomprehensible." by those attempting to understand him.
Kung's "Justification" is a study of Barth's theology on said topic
with a Roman Catholic response. The two theologians were best of
friends around serious study of doctrine. Barth's inserted "letter" to
Kung reviews Kung's assessment of Barth's works and Barth is surprosed
how close to Roman Catholic theology is his own theology.
For both theologians, Christ is and will always be central to
everything we are and to whom we will become.
Shalom,
Ron
