More quotes by 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
Grace and gratitude belong together like heaven and earth. Gratitude evokes grace like the voice and echo. Gratitude follows grace as thunder follows lightning.
Karl Barth
The Christian Church does not exist in Heaven, but on earth and in time.

Karl Barth
Grace and gratitude go together like heaven and earth.
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
Where dogmatics exists at all, it exists only with the will to be a Church dogmatics, a dogmatics of the ecumenical Church.
Karl Barth
God listens to Bach while the angels listen to Mozart.
Karl Barth
Jesus Christ, as he is attested to us in Holy Scripture, is the one Word of God whom we have to hear, and whom we have to trust and obey in life and in death.
Karl Barth
When we speak of our virtues we are competitors, when we confess our sins we become brothers.
Karl Barth
A being is free only when it can determine and limit its activity.
Karl Barth
Mozart's music is an invitation to the listener to venture just a little out of the sense of his own subjectivity.
