Sin is not confined to the evil things we do. It is the evil within us, the evil which we are.
Karl BarthWhen we speak of our virtues we are competitors, when we confess our sins we become brothers.
Karl BarthTheology is not a private subject for theologians only. Nor is it a private subject for professors. Fortunately, there have always been pastors who have understood more about theology than most professors. Nor is theology a private subject of study for pastors. Fortunately, there have repeatedly been congregation members, and often whole congregations, who have pursued theology energetically while their pastors were theological infants or barbarians. Theology is a matter for the Church.
