Religion is the possibility of the removal of every ground of confidence except confidence in God alone.
Karl Barth
Image
When we speak of our virtues we are competitors, when we confess our sins we become brothers.
Karl Barth

Mozart's music always sounds unburdened, effortless, and light. This is why it unburdens, releases, and liberates us.
Karl Barth
Image
Mozart's music is an invitation to the listener to venture just a little out of the sense of his own subjectivity.
Karl Barth
Image
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.

I have read many books, but the Bible reads me.
Karl Barth
Image

Karl Barth
Image

Karl Barth
Image
There will be no song on our lips if there be no anguish in our hearts.
Karl Barth
Image
The theologian who labours without joy is not a theologian at all.
Karl Barth
Image
What is offered to man's apprehension in any specific revelation of Christ is the living God himself.
Karl Barth
Image
There is no philosophy that is not to some extent also theology.
Karl Barth
Image
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
Image
We must read the Bible through the eyes of shipwrecked people for whom everything has gone overboard.
Karl Barth
Image
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
