Karl Barth

"Is it true, this talk of a loving and good God, who is more than one of the friendly idols whose rise is so easy to account for, and whose dominion is so brief? What the people want to find out and thoroughly understand is, Is it true?...They want to find out and thoroughly understand the answer to this one question, and not some answer that beats about the bush."
