Church Dogmatics III/2

Summary: My real relationship to God, humanity, myself, and time is grounded in the man Jesus, who is the man for God, the man for others, the whole man, and the Lord of time.

Quote: “What God says and does in His relation to man is an unequivocal Yes to man, rooted only in God Himself and therefore pure, unassailable and immovable” (p. 187).

Notable section: §47—Barth’s breathtaking account of humanity in relation to time, according to which God graciously fixes the temporal boundaries of human existence.
