bits of barth
Barth CD I/2 11:07 am
"I should like... to utter an express warning against certain passages and contexts in my commentary on Romans"
"revelation will never be discovered by anyone who undertakes to arrive at a kind of timeless core by abstracting from all times..."
"revelation has its time, and only in and along with its time is it revelation"
"when I really give anyone my time, I thereby give him the last and most personal thing that I have to give at all, namely myself"
"as law, the covenant is grace, exactly as qua grace, it is law"
"it is not with pure, good, moral men that God makes & keeps covenant, but with transgressors, & incorrigible transgressors at that"
