He was a Reformed scholar, but even Pope Pius Xii labeled him "the most important theologian since Aquinas". <br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Barth<br /><br />http://www.christianitytoday.com/ch/131christians/theologians/barth.htmlJameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01694207997231305470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14577752.post-9263936886504792892012-06-11T14:30:50.031-06:002012-06-11T14:30:50.031-06:00Hello James-I can't read Barth right now-I'...Hello James-I can't read Barth right now-I'm slogging my way (again)through "A Woman Rides The Beast" by Dave Hunt, who shines a light on Roman Catholicism in the 'end times'. <br />Hint: Catholics hate Hunt.<br />I'm not a Christian who lives for the 'uplifted' part of life-that comes later, in Heaven. I have good reason to distrust emotionalism in both theology and politics. Our hearts are wicked, and emotional appeals which tug at the heart can take us in the wrong direction.<br />Is Barth a Christian? According to whom? Just asking-I haven't looked him up, but I will. I'm supposed to be asleep right now.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16007272910234771974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14577752.post-59917096681516604352012-06-10T20:17:33.507-06:002012-06-10T20:17:33.507-06:00Have you read Barth?

Our faith is more "real" when we realize our emptiness and lack of positive virtue and goodness. It's not necessarily when we feel uplifted.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01694207997231305470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14577752.post-30887921048493319942012-06-03T13:17:31.519-06:002012-06-03T13:17:31.519-06:00"John 3:16 (KJV)
