bits of barth
Barth, CD I/1 7:11 pm
"human affairs - even those over which we think we have some control - often take a different course from the one planned"
"I regard the analogia entis as the invention of the Antichrist..."
"I believe that I understand the present-day authorities of the Church better than they understand themselves..."
"fortunately the reality of the Church does not coincide with its action"
"there never has actually been a philosophia christiana, for if it was philosophia it was not christiana, and if it was christiana..."
"...the Christian Church certainly does not number Aristotle among its ancestors"
"dogmatics is possible only as theologia crucis..."
"dogmatics must always be undertaken as an act of penitence and obedience"
"we always seem to be handling an intractable object with inadequate means"
