| Summary: | The outbreak of World War I prompted Karl Barth to abandon step-by-step essential points of the liberal theological credo he had held on to until that time. Seeing that his liberal theological teachers in Germany favoured a "war theology", which was no longer "liberal" but rather atavistic, Barth questioned the truth of liberal theology because it did not have the strength in a crisis to continue to hold its supporters. He came to a concept of faith instead of experience ("Erlebnis"), namely, faith in the divine authority and perspicuity of the Bible, in Christ, who is God and man and has by his death and his resurrection redeemed humankind. The diastasis between God and man, whose sinfulness has been revealed by the war, is so great that only the incarnation of God’s word can overcome it. Barth did not resist being designated "orthodox" because of this shift. |
