Karl Barth | Notion

It seems that one key idea is that Barth viewed God as unknowable. We cannot understand God through human logic, thinking, or life experience. Even his word is imperfect information about God. The only way to know God is through Christ. The person of Christ is the embodiment of God, and we experience God best through Christ. This has helped me understand how miraculous the incarnation is. I believe that something of God's nature is reflected in His creation, so I do not entirely agree with Barth. A full experience of God comes through Christ, but I think that nature provides the environment in which to experience God, if not the pathway to God. One thing we can conclude from Bath is that Christ and God are the same, and some of our eschatology seems to suggest that God the Father is the legalistic punishing God of the OT, while Christ is the loving, forgiving God of the NT. These are the same God, and we need to reconcile the two images.
