Karl Barth

Karl Barth was a 20th-century Swiss theologian known for his influential thoughts on the nature of God and the relationship between divine revelation and human understanding. He emphasized that God is transcendent and beyond human comprehension, yet chooses to reveal Himself through Jesus Christ. Barth critiqued human attempts to understand God through religion alone, advocating instead for a theology grounded in scripture. His views invite dialogue in comparative religion, highlighting the uniqueness of Christianity while engaging with other faiths. Regarding the afterlife, Barth suggested that God's ultimate judgement and grace transcend human limitations and understanding.
