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
What God chooses for us children of men is always the best.
Karl Barth
A being is free only when it can determine and limit its activity.
Karl Barth
The Spirit bears witness. Ecstasy and enlightenment, inspiration and intuition are not necessary. Happy is the man who is worthy of these but woe unto us if we wait for such experiences woe unto us if we do not perceive that these things are of secondary importance.
Karl Barth
Dogmatics is the testing of Church doctrine and proclamation.
Karl Barth
Jesus does not give recipes that show the way to God as other teachers of religion do. He is himself the way.
Karl Barth
The theologian who labours without joy is not a theologian at all.
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
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
He [Jesus Christ] is the Master of all as the Servant of all.
Karl Barth
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
Radically and basically, all sin is simply ingratitude.
Karl Barth
Mozart's music always sounds unburdened, effortless, and light. This is why it unburdens, releases, and liberates us.
Karl Barth
A free theologian works in communication with other theologians...He waits for them and asks them to wait for him. Our sadly lacking yet indispensable theological co-operation depends directly or indirectly on whether or not we are wiling to wait for one another, perhaps lamenting, yet smiling with tears in our eyes.
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
The Christian Church does not exist in Heaven, but on earth and in time.
Karl Barth
'joy' in Phillippians is a defiant 'Nevertheless!' that Paul sets like a full stop against the Philippians' anxiety.
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
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
