Christianity And Barthianism
KARL BARTH IS NOW REGARDED AS THE GREAT PROPHET OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.
"Barth's Christology has, it is said, spoken the liberating word for our day. In it, we are told, God's sovereignty above man and his gracious presence with man, are kept in proper balance.
"Barth's theology is rapidly becoming the rallying point for mod-ern ecumenism. Roman Catholic and New Protestant theologians alike rejoice as Barth replaces the Christ of Luther and of Calvin with a Christ patterned after modern activist thought.
"Those who, with the Reformers, believe that through the death and resurrection of Christ in history sinners are saved from the wrath of God to come, have the responsibility of upholding Biblical Christianity against this attack.
"The present writer is of the opinion that, for all its verbal similarity to historic Protestantism, Barth's theology is, in effect, a denial of it. There is, he believes, in Barth's view no 'transition from wrath to grace' in history"
