Barth on Honesty & Preaching

Posted in Church in America

Friends,

“My calling is to speak and to speak clearly. …If I wanted to be liked, I would be quiet.” –Karl Barth as quoted by William Willimon in Conversations with Barth on Preaching, 13

I am first and foremost a Christian. I am a preacher. I am a husband and a dad. I love reading, writing, woodworking, collecting stamps, playing guitar, listening to music, baseball, golf, NASCAR (24!), blogging, studying, learning, green olives, cashews, Red Delicious apples, Chocolate, and swiss cheese. I am anxious for the Return of Jesus to redeem those of us who are waiting. Thanks for stopping by.

    1. Jason,

      Thanks for stopping by. I just told a friend today that I am giving serious consideration to reading Barth’s Dogmatics in full. It would be a challenge to do so, but he seems to be so unlike all the warnings I have heard about him from ‘conservative’ theologians. Besides, I also read that Barth liked to ‘throw the furniture around.’ I like that. I hope you are enjoying your new home and your new ministry. God Bless your new year as well. Preach well.
