More quotes by Karl Barth
God listens to Bach while the angels listen to Mozart.
Karl Barth
Dogmatics is the testing of Church doctrine and proclamation.
Karl Barth
Religion is the possibility of the removal of every ground of confidence except confidence in God alone.
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
I don’t believe in universalism, but I do believe in Jesus Christ, the reconciler of all
Karl Barth
The enterprise of Adolf Hitler, with all its clatter and fireworks, and all its cunning and dynamic energy, is the enterprise of an evil spirit, which is apparently allowed its freedom for a time in order to test our faith in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Karl Barth
As ministers we ought to speak of God. We are human, however, and so cannot speak of God. We ought therefore to recognize both our obligation and our inability and by that very recognition give glory to God
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
When the frontier between God and man, the last inexorable barrier and obstacle, is not closed, the barrier between what is normal and what is perverse is opened.
Karl Barth
What is offered to man's apprehension in any specific revelation of Christ is the living God himself.
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
I take the Bible far too seriously to take it literally.
Karl Barth
What expressions we used - in part taken over and in part newly invented! above all, the famous 'wholly other' breaking in upon us 'perpendicularly from above,' the not less famous 'infinite qualitative distinction' between God and man, the vacuum, the mathematical point, and the tangent in which alone they must meet.
Karl Barth
In dogmatics our question is: What are we to think and say?
Karl Barth
We must read the Bible through the eyes of shipwrecked people for whom everything has gone overboard.
Karl Barth
The Christian Church does not exist in Heaven, but on earth and in time.
Karl Barth
Radically and basically, all sin is simply ingratitude.
Karl Barth
Man can certainly flee from God... but he cannot escape him. He can certainly hate God and be hateful to God, but he cannot change into its opposite the eternal love of God which triumphs even in his hate.
Karl Barth
Jesus Christ, as he is attested to us in Holy Scripture, is the one Word of God whom we have to hear, and whom we have to trust and obey in life and in death.
Karl Barth
I had to show that the Bible dealt with an encounter between God and Man. I thought only of the apartness of God. What I had to learn after that was the togetherness of Man and God - a union of two totally different kinds of beings.
