• Karl Barth on Refugees

  
  hebel — Authority: 416
  Commenting in October 1942 on the refugee crisis facing Switzerland, Karl Barth had this to say: "The refugees are our concern: not because they are good and valuable people, but because they are today the lowest, the most wretched people in the whole world and as such they knock on our doors, [and because their] ...

• Barth on Monday

  
  Van Peebles Land — Authority: 419
  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. Everyone who has to contend with unbelief should be advised that he ought not to take his own unbelief too seriously. Only faith is to be ...

  Listening to: David Ford: I Sincerely Apologise for All the Trouble Ive Caused Just about the worst thing I ever have read from Karl Barth: Unquestionably, the resurrection narratives are contradictory. A coherent history cannot be evolved from them [...] The witnesses attended an event that went over their ...

• Karl Barth and True Practical Theology

  
  this side of sunday — Authority: 110
  I used to sit in a Karl Barth reading group in seminary and not infrequently be heard to ask (with some frustration): "But when is Barth going to get around to talking about our part in all of this?" Our professor was pretty patient with us. Emerging us in the text semester after semester he trusted it to reveal to ...

  P e r ? C r u c e m ? a d ? L u c e m — Authority: 587
  Whether we’re talking of Monteiths , or Three Boys, or Emersons , or West Coast Brewing , New Zealand’s south island can boast being the home of some really decent beers (my own home brew included). One of the local favourites is Speights , whose Old Dark I’ve been enjoying of late. One of the most ...

• Barth on Monday

  
  Van Peebles Land — Authority: 419
  Think of the men in the Bible. They did not come to faith by reason of any kind of proofs, but one day they were so placed that they might believe and then they had to believe in spite of everything. God is hidden from us outside His Word. But He is manifest to us in Jesus Christ. If we look past Him, we must not be ...

• Becoming Acquainted with Barth II: Thurneysen

  
  this side of sunday — Authority: 110
  I think you can tell a lot about a person by what he values in a friend, and you probably never know a man until youve seen him with his best friend either. I found something about Karl Barths description of his close friend Eduard Thurneysen fairly moving: "All my personal impressions of him can be summed up in the ...

• Why I (still) confess the filioque

  
  Faith and Theology — Authority: 574
  In theology, Eastern Orthodoxy is the new black. These days its harder and harder to find any serious Protestant commitment to the western confession of filioque . The denomination in which Im teaching, for instance, omits the filioque from liturgical confessions of the Nicene Creed. In recent Protestant ...

• Barth on Church Confession and Language

  
  The Reformed Reader — Authority: 420
  I ran across a great section of Barth’s Dogmatics in Outline (p. 86-87) that is important for us in our age of language-games, equivocation, and loss of definite truth. “The Church…looks in its message at this immeasurable and unfathomable fact, that God has given himself for us.  And that is why in each ...

• Karl Barth on Orthodoxy.

  
  BRYANLOPEZ.COM — Authority: 130
  ‘Orthodoxy doubtless has much to live down, but it has nevertheless a powerful instinct for what is superfluous and what is indispensable. In this it surpasses many of the schools that oppose it. And this, and certainly not the mere habit and mental inertia of the people, is the primary reason why it still continues ...

  Barth again, this time on ‘orthodoxy’: ‘Orthodoxy doubtless has much to live down, but it has nevertheless a powerful instinct for what is superfluous and what is indispensable.

• Vanhoozer on Van Til and Barth (lots of names)

  
  reformed blogging. — Authority: 98
  I should really be studying right now, but I couldn’t resist posting this quote. I have sometimes wondered, after hearing Van Tillian critiques of Barth, whether Van Til really understood Barth. Obviously, I don’t think Van Til completely misunderstood Barth (he probably understood him better than I do), but I do ...

  After Existentialism, Light — Authority: 410
  In the comment thread to the previous post, I lamented the lack of serious engagement, from too many evangelical students, with the theology of Karl Barth, Thomas Torrance, and kindred spirits. In response, Mike Cheek asked about recommendations for understanding their context and what they were accomplishing. ...

  P e r ? C r u c e m ? a d ? L u c e m — Authority: 587
  I’ve been re-reading some early lectures by Karl Barth from the period 1916–1923, published as The Word of God and the Word of Man . It really is an inspiring collection, the reading of which is of great encouragement to pastors and theological educators alike, recalling that our unique task is none other ...

  Drawing on recent posts by Halden Doerge , Ben Myers and  Carol Howard Merritt , Graham Ford (a pastoral resident at Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church (USA) in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania), asks ‘What would Barth tweet?’ He begins: If Karl Barth rightly claimed that all theological discourse is repetition, then I’d ...

• The Narrow Way

  
  Ponderings on a Faith Journey — Authority: 477
  The young Karl Barth, in his preaching, challenges his people, and in doing so, challenges us. In a sermon on 2 Corinthians 1:3-11, preached January 18, 1920, Barth speaks to an overly familiar understanding of Christian faith, a faith in which were kind of good buddies with Jesus and the saints of old. He speaks of ...
