More quotes by Karl Barth

Image
'joy' in Phillippians is a defiant 'Nevertheless!' that Paul sets like a full stop against the Philippians' anxiety.
Karl Barth
Image
What is offered to man's apprehension in any specific revelation of Christ is the living God himself.
Karl Barth
Image
We must read the Bible through the eyes of shipwrecked people for whom everything has gone overboard.
Karl Barth
Image
There is no philosophy that is not to some extent also theology.
Karl Barth
Image
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.

When we speak of our virtues we are competitors, when we confess our sins we become brothers.
Karl Barth
Image
Mozart's music always sounds unburdened, effortless, and light. This is why it unburdens, releases, and liberates us.

Karl Barth
Image
No act of man can claim to be more than an attempt, not even science.
Karl Barth
Image
Sin is not confined to the evil things we do. It is the evil within us, the evil which we are.
Karl Barth
Image
What expressions we used - in part taken over and in part newly invented! above all, the famous 'wholly other' breaking in upon us 'perpendicularly from above,' the not less famous 'infinite qualitative distinction' between God and man, the vacuum, the mathematical point, and the tangent in which alone they must meet.
Karl Barth
Image
This much is certain, that we have no theological right to set any sort of limits to the loving-kindness of God which has appeared in Jesus Christ. Our theological duty is to see and understand it as being still greater than we had seen before.
Karl Barth
Image
I don’t believe in universalism, but I do believe in Jesus Christ, the reconciler of all

The Devil may also make use of morality.
Karl Barth
Image
There will be no song on our lips if there be no anguish in our hearts.
Karl Barth
Image
In Jesus, God wills to be true God not only in the height but also in the depth - in the depth of human creatureliness, sinfulness and mortality.
Karl Barth

Let us hear what the Bible says and what we as Christians are called to hear together: By grace you have been saved.
