T-NOTE: WHAT DID BARTH BELIEVE re REVELATION?
".. Religion – A Work of Law. For Barth all religion, Christianity included, is a completely human work. Because religion is a completely human work. Because religion is a human construction whereby humanity by its own efforts attempts to commune with the divine it is efforts attempts to commune with the divine it is Unglaube; for Barth, (CD 1/2: 302-3) “religion is the contradiction of revelation. That which pleases God is not human religiosity but faith in response to divine revelation; revelation that proceeds only and directly from the triune God(Di Noia, 2000: 249-250). It is clear then why the work on religion is offered within the larger context of the work of the Holy Spirit in context of the work of the Holy Spirit in revelation. Thus even in his early theology one can see this reliance “As God reveals himself, he is knowable” (Barth, 1990: 328). Any independent attempt to speak of God is futile and doomed as Feurbach noted to the projection to natural desires to a supernatural realm (Hart, 1999: 17, 125-126). Crucial as a backdrop to Barth’s revelatory theology as it developed is the work of Immanuel Kant and especially the neo-Kantians he studied under at Marburg. For Kant the only basis for knowledge is the Feurbach noted to the projection to natura desires to a supernatural realm (Hart, 1999: 17 125-126). Crucial as a backdrop to Barth’s revelatory theology as it developed is the work of Immanuel Kant and especially the neo-Kantians he studied under at Marburg.
