Tim,

But, one of the most infuriating aspects of his theology is the way he gives with one hand and takes with the other. Against liberals, he affirmed the incarnation and resurrection of Christ. But, when Carl Henry asked him what one would see if he was an eye-witness on Resurrection morning, he asked Henry if he said he was representing Chrisitanity Today or Christianity Yesterday?

It's funny though. A guy like Tillich had no patience for Barth's weasel wording. Are the "facts" of the Gospels historical or not? Liberal Tillich would frankly say "not." Barth would argue that they are historical but could not be proven. Is the Bible the Word of God? For Barth the Bible witnessed to Revelation. Listening to it offers the opportunity for it to become God's Word to you.

Plus, not many theologians write 9,000 page ST.

He certainly considered himself Reformed. However, he would never have been accepted on PB.
