DAVID CLOUGH ON KARL BARTH 

How did David Clough get on here? I was looking for audio clips of Karl Barth and I found this from my old lecturer. Good stuff. Thanks for the 74% for my dissertation!

I wish I could say I found this more helpful in getting to the essence of Barth.

I only clicked on this because I mistakenly thought it said BRIAN Clough on Karl Barth. I bet Cloughie would have had some spicy words about the German theologian.

Its very interesting that noted Zen personalities, names as big as DT Suzuki, supported the imperialist policies of Japan like the Russian Japanese war and aggression against China, even when called upon by western religious figures to come out in favor of peace or at least mercy.

Culture was not ' controling Church ' , nor was ideology . Humans are products of our time and the socities we live in , however , that does not mean the revelation of God is absent .

"HUuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

+Richard Wallace Neither Barth nor Tillich did, the great conservative and great liberal theologians respectively of that time - also, modern day Brits are more closely descended from Hermann and the coastal saxons than modern Germans are

MrRickywallace - you missed the point altogether. The ministers on the other side did the exact same thing. Culture was controling the churches. There was no foundation in God's revelation.

Sorry to be negative about Barth's negativity but he just seemed to be carving out a niche for himself in the arcane world of academic theology and so he has no relevance to those who look to religious thinkers to help them make sense of their spiritual experience

if you’re only here because your philosophy teacher has asked you to get an insight into Barth clap your hands 👏🏻👏🏻

Knowing that most of the German theologians supported the Kaiser shows us that the Hun is basically a violent creature, not a spiritual one, when it concerns nationalism. I was glad to hear this. So, it's not stereotyping of the Germans. Most Germans probably did support the two wars. America needs to remember this forever.
