More From Karl Barth

No Act Of Man Can Claim To Be More Than An Attempt, Not Even Science.

Conscience Is The Perfect Interpreter Of Life.

All Sin Has Its Being And Origin In The Fact That Man Wants To Be His Own Judge. And In Wanting To Be That, And Thinking And Acting Accordingly, He And His Whole World Is In Conflict With God. It Is An Unreconciled World, And Therefore A Suffering World, A World Given Up To Destruction.

The Devil May Also Make Use Of Morality.

Society Is Now Really Ruled By Its Own Logos; Say Rather By A Whole Pantheon Of Its Own Hypostases And Powers... We Are Beginning To Suspect That The Idols Are Vain, But Their Demonic Influence Upon Our Lives Is Not Thereby Allayed. For It Is One Thing To Entertain Critical Doubts Regarding The God Of This World, And Another Thing To Perceive The Dunamis, The Meaning And Might Of The Living God Who Is Building A New World.
