More quotes by Karl Barth
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
We act unbelievingly and disobediently when, for whatever motive, we distort, falsify, or suppress the facts about our life in nature and history.
Karl Barth
Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so?
Karl Barth
The person who knows only his side of the argument knows little of that.
Karl Barth
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
Mozart creates music from a mysterious center, and so knows the limits to the right and the left, above and below. He maintains moderation.
Karl Barth
God listens to Bach while the angels listen to Mozart.
Karl Barth
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
When I come before these men I do not have to explain that we are all sinners. They have committed every sin there is. All I have to tell them is that I, too, am a sinner.
Karl Barth
What is offered to man's apprehension in any specific revelation of Christ is the living God himself.
Karl Barth
He [Jesus Christ] is the Master of all as the Servant of all.
Karl Barth
Whether the angels play only Bach praising God, I am not quite sure.
Karl Barth
We must read the Bible through the eyes of shipwrecked people for whom everything has gone overboard.
Karl Barth
Faith is never identical with piety even if it were the purest and finest.
Karl Barth
Humanity in its basic form is co-humanity.
Karl Barth
Mozart's music is free of all exaggeration, of all sharp breaks and contradictions. The sun shines but does not blind, does not burn or consume. Heaven arches over the earth, but it does not weigh it down, it does not crush or devour it.
Karl Barth
The Christian Church does not exist in Heaven, but on earth and in time.
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
If I have a system it is limited to a recognition of what Kierkegaard called 'the infinite qualitative distinction' between time and eternity
Karl Barth
The Devil may also make use of morality.
