Karl Barth's Bravery, Views on Other Religions, and Salvation
Karl Barth was a brave man who openly stood for his convictions and fought for them, even in challenging times like the National Socialism era. He believed in respecting other religions and condemned acting superior to them, advocating for making Christianity attractive rather than condemning other faiths. Barth saw Israel and the Church as effectively siblings in the same family and believed they would eventually be reconciled. His view on salvation suggested a universalist approach, indicating that all individuals would eventually be embraced by God's love. He also criticized the idea of religion as a means to justify oneself before a concept of God, asserting that Christians, in particular, were the worst in that regard for making a religion out of Jesus Christ.
