• Barth Warns His Opponents

  
  Disruptive Grace — Authority: 108
  This was just too funny not to share: Among those who have reviewed the preceding volumes, and those who have attacked me in various ways without reading them, there are some who have carried things to such a pitch that I contemplated making a very unfriendly reply in this Preface. They ought to be glad that they ...

• Barth on Monday

  
  Van Peebles Land — Authority: 125
  Creation is grace... The existence of the creature alongside God is the great puzzle and miracle... That there is a world is the most unheard-of thing, the miracle of the grace of God.

• Barth’s clarity

  
  After Existentialism, Light — Authority: 410
  Barth’s clarity is not something for which he is particularly known, but I think these comments from Joseph Mangina, in Karl Barth: Theologian of Christian Witness , make sense of the sort of clarity Barth sought: While acquaintance with the structure of the Dogmatics is useful, it does not prepare one for ...

  Disruptive Grace — Authority: 108
  A Biblical Rationale for CD III/4, 488-9 At the end of this section, Barth helpfully summarizes all four of his ecclesial assumptions through his citation of I Peter 2:9-10: But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people, in order that you may proclaim the mighty acts of him who ...

• Doomsday is so AD 33

  
  this side of sunday — Authority: 115
  Enough has probably been said here and elsewhere (quite excellently, Colin) about the upcoming movie, The Road , and the extent to which it will fail to be true to the book from which it derives. It should be no surprise, given the dearth of Hollywood films portraying an apocalyptic Judgment Day in recent ...

  Loving the Mud — Authority: 112
  While at Baptist Bible College it was common to have conversations with a friend about some gal that had captured their heart and now they were considering asker her to marry them.

  Today’s Eureka Street includes a piece by Neil Ormerod on ‘Why universities welcome theological colleges’.

But there are ...

• The Chattering, Squinting, Stuttering Church

  
  reformed blogging. — Authority: 108
  “It is the church which for the sake of security wants to construct an ontology before beginning theology; which instead of expounding the Bible gives itself with deadly seriousness to the problem of hermeneutics (to love of love instead of love itself!); which instead of speaking of the Word entrusted to it speaks ...

• Barth on Monday

  
  Van Peebles Land — Authority: 125
  We do not know what love is and we do not know what freedom is; but God is love and God is freedom. What freedom is and what love is, we have to learn from Him... He does not need the other and nevertheless he loves. Karl Barth, Dogmatics in Outline , p.30

• The Stimulus of Teaching

  
  Doug Geivett's Blog — Authority: 412
  Why did Karl Barth’s productivity as a writing scholar diminish following his retirement from teaching? Some say it’s because the pressure to produce had run out [see here].What T. H. L. Parker wrote is that Barth “lost the stimulus provided by the need to give lectures.” The key word here is “stimulus,” ...

• The Old and New Testaments as Pointing to Christ

  
  reformed blogging. — Authority: 108
  Here’s a neat quote from Barth on how the Old and New Testaments relate: As regards handling of Old Testament texts, we maintain that for us the Old Testament is valid only in relation to the New. If the church as declared itself to be the lawful successor of the synagogue, this means that the Old Testament is ...

• Karl Barth on Christ-ian Forgiveness

  
  this side of sunday — Authority: 115
  I have only just begun my deep foray into Barths theology of forgiveness, but the following extracts seem to me to be fairly indicative of his direction. He can certainly be found within his Reformed tradition, but with unique emphases and critiques. What I notice first off is his a resistance to talk of forgiveness ...

• Barth on Monday

  
  Van Peebles Land — Authority: 125
  One may, of course, be confused and one may doubt; but whoever once believes has something like a character indelibilis . He may take comfort of the fact that he is being upheld.
