Reading pages 527-537 (the constructive summary of Barth’s doctrine of Holy Scripture) almost brought me to tears, his theological prose is so breathtakingly beautiful. I felt as if I was soaring the heights of heaven with Barth as I voraciously read these words.

“The Bible says all sorts of things, certainly; but in all this multiplicity and variety, it says in truth only one thing—just this: the name of Jesus Christ, concealed under the name Israel in the Old Testament, revealed under His own name in the New Testament, which therefore can be understood only as it has understood itself, as a commentary on the Old Testament.“

Barth’s discussion of Scripture’s perspicuity was very unclear. Lol.
