    God needs MEN, not creatures

    Full of noisy, catchy phrases.

    Dogs he asks for, who their noses

    Deeply thrust into – Today

    And there scent Eternity

    — Karl Barth

  • such a good poem! who is Karl Barth?

  • Karl Barth is none other than one of the greatest theologians of the 20th century. He was kicked out of Germany shortly after the Nazis came to power for advocating against them and then spend the next 15 years ranting against them from Switzerland. He’s definitely worth looking into.
