Barth on God Speaking

12/19/2005 15:29:36

I would very much like to archive this here - it has been on my mind with regard to a subjectivist theory to serve better than Rahner's anonymous Christians...

"God may speak to us through Russian communism, through a flute concerto, through a blossoming shrub or through a dead dog. We shall do well to listen to him if he really does so. ... God may speak to us through a pagan or an atheist, and in that way give us to understand that the boundary between the Church and the profane world still and repeatedly takes a course quite different from that which we hitherto thought we saw."
(Karl Barth, Church Dogmatics I.1, 60f.)

I was first pointed to this by Stout's Democracy and Tradition, which is so far wonderful.
