Karl Barth
Image
I take the Bible far too seriously to take it literally.
Karl Barth
Image
The Christian Church does not exist in Heaven, but on earth and in time.
Karl Barth
Image
With an ear open to your musical dialectic, one can be young and become old, can work and rest, be content and sad: in short, one can live.
Karl Barth
Image

Karl Barth
Image
I have read many books, but the Bible reads me.
Karl Barth
Image
Jesus does not give recipes that show the way to God as other teachers of religion do. He is himself the way.

In dogmatics our question is: What are we to think and say?
Karl Barth

Scientific dogmatics must devote itself to the criticism and correction of Church proclamation and not just to a repetitive exposition of it.
Karl Barth
Image

Karl Barth
Image
Dogmatics is the testing of Church doctrine and proclamation.
Karl Barth
Image
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
Image
'joy' in Phillippians is a defiant 'Nevertheless!' that Paul sets like a full stop against the Philippians' anxiety.
Karl Barth
Image
Faith is never identical with piety even if it were the purest and finest.
Karl Barth
Image
When we speak of our virtues we are competitors, when we confess our sins we become brothers.
Karl Barth
Image
It may be that when the angels go about their task praising God, they play only Bach. I am sure, however, that when they are together en famille they play Mozart.
Karl Barth

The Devil may also make use of morality.
