The Whackiest Thing Karl Barth Ever Said: The Weak in Faith in Romans 14

The Whackiest Thing Karl Barth Ever Said: The Weak in Faith in Romans 14 September 25, 2014

Look, I like Karl Barth, his christocentric theology, his trinitarian revelationism, and lots of  other stuff.

However, I’ve been reading over his Romans commentary and as much as I try to appreciate him as a theological interpreter and all, some of the stuff he says is just whacky.

When it comes to the identity of the “weak” in faith in Rom 14:2, Barth says that the modern equivalents are Baptists, teetotalers, open air preachers, and vegetarians.

Do you know anyone who fits this category, cause according to Barth, they need help!
