Karl Barth
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so?
Karl Barth
Image
Mozart's music always sounds unburdened, effortless, and light. This is why it unburdens, releases, and liberates us.
Karl Barth
Image
Humanity in its basic form is co-humanity.
Karl Barth
Image
I have read many books, but the Bible reads me.
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
Grace creates liberated laughter. The grace of God...is beautiful, and it radiates joy and awakens humor.
