What should we think of Karl Barth?


Many in our day are returning to the theology of Karl Barth. People are tired of Liberalism and do not like Fundamentalism. Barth satisfies the intellectual because he was intelligent. He puts liberalism in its place. But Barth is Neo-orthodox and this is like purgatory - it is supposed to be a place between heaven and hell, but it is a place that doesn't really exist. So Barth's Neo-orthodoxy is supposed to be a theology between Liberalism and Fundamentalism that steers clear of the problems of each side. However, the fact remains, as one scholar has written, "Barth’s theology is not Christianity. It is, just as modernism itself is, another religion. Barth is a wolf bleating." Read the following article about Karl Barth to find out more about the dangers of Barth's theology.
