More quotes by Karl Barth
I take the Bible far too seriously to take it literally.
Karl Barth
The relation of this God with this man the relation of this man with this God--this is the only theme of the Bible and of philosophy.
Karl Barth
I have read many books, but the Bible reads me.
Karl Barth
Humanity in its basic form is co-humanity.
Karl Barth
When I come before these men I do not have to explain that we are all sinners. They have committed every sin there is. All I have to tell them is that I, too, am a sinner.
Karl Barth
Religion is the possibility of the removal of every ground of confidence except confidence in God alone.

Radically and basically, all sin is simply ingratitude.
Karl Barth
Dogmatics is the testing of Church doctrine and proclamation.
Karl Barth
What is offered to man's apprehension in any specific revelation of Christ is the living God himself.

Karl Barth
Mozart's music always sounds unburdened, effortless, and light. This is why it unburdens, releases, and liberates us.
Karl Barth
Mozart's music is free of all exaggeration, of all sharp breaks and contradictions. The sun shines but does not blind, does not burn or consume. Heaven arches over the earth, but it does not weigh it down, it does not crush or devour it.
Karl Barth
The statement that 'God is dead' comes from Nietzsche and has recently been trumpeted abroad by some German and American theologians. But the good Lord has not died of this He who dwells in the heaven laughs at them.
Karl Barth
There is no philosophy that is not to some extent also theology.
Karl Barth
If I have a system it is limited to a recognition of what Kierkegaard called 'the infinite qualitative distinction' between time and eternity
Karl Barth
Grace and gratitude belong together like heaven and earth. Gratitude evokes grace like the voice and echo. Gratitude follows grace as thunder follows lightning.
Karl Barth
Faith in God's revelation has nothing to do with an ideology which glorifies the status quo.
Karl Barth
The person who knows only his side of the argument knows little of that.
Karl Barth
