Part 1 – Casalis begins by setting forth the widespread impact that Barth has had on the theological community. He also tries to show how, although part of the Reformed church, his works were not defending his niche but were for all Christianity. He also gives some samples of Barth’s work to show his values.… [Read more…]
I will own up right off the bat. I have not succeeded in killing all my sin. I still struggle and fight daily to be the man God has called me to be. But I believe that if you’ve been a Christian for any length of time you will have had things that “work” and… [Read more…]
I have finally finished the introduction to the biography of Karl Barth. The reason I picked up this little book is because several of the other books I am reading reference Barth, positively and negatively, and I felt that my limited knowledge of him (basically the pronunciation of his last name) necessitated that I learn… [Read more…]
There are some sins that sneak up on you and take you by surprise. And then there are the ones that you can see coming from generations away.
