In which I expose Barth as a Protestant theologian

[T&T Clark @tandtclark]

Karl Barth is considered one of the most original and significant theologians of the 20th c. - and today is his 139th birthday!

Celebrate with us by reading this exclusive introductory article to Barth and his works on T&T Clark Theology Library👉 https://t.co/3CZF8GEXf3

@xophermc Thank you! That is very encouraging to hear

[Declan Kelly @JKDeclan]

@keith_JCFJ No problem at all. Thanks very much for trying.

Anyone have access to Theologia Reformata, specifically the issue 67/2 from June this year?

The devil on my shoulder

[Declan Kelly @JKDeclan]

Travelling through Switzerland, I'm gaining a whole new appreciation for Barth - not as a theologian, but as a cyclist.

[Declan Kelly @JKDeclan]

Happy to see my book feature in this piece on the devil. Thanks to Sam Tranter for the heads up!

@kevinhargaden (divine) order on chaos - (divine) chaos on order. A good summation of the book's argument!

A quick heads up: if you're interested in acquiring a copy of my book, the hardback is now on sale for £16. https://t.co/D5uY8IQB3H

@womeninchurch It seems the discount only lasted for a brief moment, unfortunately

"During my holidays, I met a pastor who told me that his parishioners, even those who still attended church, were actually atheists, fundamental doubters and unbelievers. He should have continued: and I am their pastor and also belong to them and am one of them too." Barth, 1920

[Declan Kelly @JKDeclan]

When you read in Barth's earliest sermons that women are just as capable as men of preaching, but also that Italians are naturally lazy

[Declan Kelly @JKDeclan]

"Unread book in perfect condition" - one hopes that they're referring to this copy in particular, but one fears that they're referring to the book in general 😬

[Declan Kelly @JKDeclan]

"...the disastrous question of the law: what should we do? This question, along with all individual attempts at a solution, is buried in Christ." Barth, First Edition of Romans

Buried with Christ, and raised in the Munster ethics!

Come to Twisters for the exciting throwback to 90s disaster movies. Stay for the country music soundtrack.

[Declan Kelly @JKDeclan]

That said, I'm not sure that even Barth could grasp the evil that is at stake in the current moment.

Found myself reading Barth's letter to Great Britain from Switzerland this morning. Feels timely #EURO2024
