Karl Barth’s “The Epistle to the Romans” is now out on @Logos, so here’s one of my favorite quotes from “Der Römerbrief.” May the theological critique of religion live on. A faith that is not self-critical is a dead faith, indeed.

Karl Barth reflects on the human tendency to deify nature and spirits, comparing them to ancient gods, and warns about becoming slaves to these creations, ultimately losing protection from higher power.
