More quotes by Karl Barth
I have read many books, but the Bible reads me.
Karl Barth
God listens to Bach while the angels listen to Mozart.
Karl Barth
It may be that when the angels go about their task praising God, they play only Bach. I am sure, however, that when they are together en famille they play Mozart.
Karl Barth
What is offered to man's apprehension in any specific revelation of Christ is the living God himself.
Karl Barth
'joy' in Phillippians is a defiant 'Nevertheless!' that Paul sets like a full stop against the Philippians' anxiety.
Karl Barth
The theologian who labours without joy is not a theologian at all.
Karl Barth
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
I take the Bible far too seriously to take it literally.
Karl Barth
What God chooses for us children of men is always the best.
Karl Barth
There is no philosophy that is not to some extent also theology.
Karl Barth
We have before us the fiendishness of business competition and the world war, passion and wrongdoing, antagonism between classes and moral depravity within them, economic tyranny above and the slave spirit below.
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
I had to show that the Bible dealt with an encounter between God and Man. I thought only of the apartness of God. What I had to learn after that was the togetherness of Man and God - a union of two totally different kinds of beings.
Karl Barth
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
I don’t believe in universalism, but I do believe in Jesus Christ, the reconciler of all
Karl Barth
Grace and gratitude go together like heaven and earth.
Karl Barth
To be a Christian and to pray are one and the same thing it is a matter that cannot be left to our caprice. It is a need, a kind of breathing necessary to life.
Karl Barth
When we speak of our virtues we are competitors, when we confess our sins we become brothers.
Karl Barth
True theology is an actual determination and claiming of man by the acting God.
Karl Barth
Where dogmatics exists at all, it exists only with the will to be a Church dogmatics, a dogmatics of the ecumenical Church.
Karl Barth
