| Summary: | In the course of the Church Dogmatics Karl Barth illuminated (or obscured, according to your point of view) his argument by detailed exegeses of texts from the Hebrew Bible. The most extraordinary of these is probably the account of 1 Kings 13 in CD II/2, but the most famous is his account of Job in IV/3. Unlike many twentieth-century exegetes Barth did not treat Job as an essay in theodicy, and unlike most of them he did not begin from a text analysis which assumed that some parts (for example, the prologue and epilogue, or the Elihu speeches) were ‘not original’ and could therefore be discounted. Barth worked with the text as given. For Barth Job was a type of Christ, the true Witness, and the friends were a type of resistance to the truth. |
