Haha--Barth is the father of Neo-Orthodoxy! And you skew his terms with essentially the same argument that many others make against anyone who has a problem with a scholar. "The Bible easily refutes" his Geistche/Historie! ...well, yes, if you look at the Bible from a very very superficial reading. Unfortunately, some people are beyond the age of what is essentially a "That's just semantics!" argument that you're covertly making--in which we can see where Barth's distinctions come from. Barth has one of the highest Christologies of any theologian. He has a definite trend towards seeing God as ultimately the Revealer of himself, and the Scripture is only one way in which this is done. Fortunately, I don't worship the Bible itself, so it doesn't offend me that he points out Scripture's vagueness and contradictions.

Try his entire set of "Church Dogmatics." : ) Respectfully, Jean Cauvin (Jude 3). Hi Sir Aaron,

He refuted Karl Barf so you have to wonder. It's worth discussion to those who are still in existence. Respectfully, Jean Cauvin (Jude 3). Hello,

Its good to have people who proclaim that fork in the road: Christ or man, truth or error, Scripture or lies of the Evil one. There are people who secretly sneek in among us, and when they are proven to be false, need to be purged, for the sake of unity on Truth, purity of doctrine, and purity in life. Its astounding at how "Christians" (and I mean those who think they are solid), will accept teachers who denied clear biblical doctrine, or revel in absolutely filth, and try to justify their own acceptance of them, while slamming those who show the error of such wolves. Things are so backwards today, its insane. Thank you Stephen for your clear and bold stand.

I needed to understand about Barth, so I would not again be unwittingly involved with something that was not orthodox biblical Christianity. Great quotes by Van Til and Carl F. H. Henry in the article. I need to read Van Til and Carl F.H. Henry, before I read Karl Barth. Thanks for the good and helpful information on Karl Barth.
