More quotes by Karl Barth

Karl Barth

Karl Barth

Karl Barth

Karl Barth
Mozart's music is an invitation to the listener to venture just a little out of the sense of his own subjectivity.
Karl Barth
What God chooses for us children of men is always the best.
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
The Christian Church does not exist in Heaven, but on earth and in time.
Karl Barth
I don’t believe in universalism, but I do believe in Jesus Christ, the reconciler of all
Karl Barth
The theologian who labors without joy is not a theologian at all. Sulky faces, morose thoughts and boring ways of speaking are intolerable in this field.
Karl Barth
God listens to Bach while the angels listen to Mozart.
Karl Barth
There is no philosophy that is not to some extent also theology.
Karl Barth
I have read many books, but the Bible reads me.
Karl Barth
