As I understand it, Barth's view is that there is no individual unconditional election -- Christ is the elect one and all who are in Christ are thereby elect. But God does not unconditionally select who will be in Christ.

I know Scripture does have examples of corporate election in certain senses and for certain purposes, but not to the exclusion of individual unconditional election unto salvation.

I am seeking some specific references for Barth's view which pre-date him.
