More quotes by Karl Barth

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
We must read the Bible through the eyes of shipwrecked people for whom everything has gone overboard.
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
Faith in God's revelation has nothing to do with an ideology which glorifies the status quo.
