More quotes by 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
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
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
Humanity in its basic form is co-humanity.
Karl Barth
Image
Whether the angels play only Bach praising God, I am not quite sure.
Karl Barth
Image
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
Image
True theology is an actual determination and claiming of man by the acting God.
Karl Barth
Image
When we speak of our virtues we are competitors, when we confess our sins we become brothers.
Karl Barth
Image
I don’t believe in universalism, but I do believe in Jesus Christ, the reconciler of all
Karl Barth
Image
Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so?
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
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
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
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
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
The person who knows only his side of the argument knows little of that.
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.
Karl Barth
Image
Faith in God's revelation has nothing to do with an ideology which glorifies the status quo.
Karl Barth
Image
What God chooses for us children of men is always the best.
Karl Barth
