Barth’s Church Dogmatics
Reading Karl Barth’s Church Dogmatics is like trudging through a thick jungle with only a rusty and dull machete. Oftentimes there are great pyramids in a clearing that stand very strong, up out of the canopy in an ominous and awe inspiring way. Other times there are pyramids and other ancient structures which the jungle has claimed and taken back with a thick layer of organic debris. Just as it is difficult to clear a path through the jungle it is even more difficult to investigate exactly what the jungle has taken back as its own. The journey may be difficult but the end result is magnificent to be sure.
