Karl Barth on Power - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 239 Power/Barth: Barth interprets the figures Jesus and Pilate as actors or personalized condensations (...) ((s) of a) reconstructed double and at the same time double-stranded, namely theo-anthropological context of action. While Jesus of Nazareth proves his Christ-being (his essential belonging to God) through the fact that in him the will of God to salvation is directly asserted, in "Pilate" it is strongly mediated, namely in the medium of the opposite, as the condemnation of Jesus to crucifixion and death. Barth interprets the condemnation of Jesus by Pilate as an act for which he does in fact have the "power" ('exousia', (1) given to him by God, but which is in material contradiction to Roman law; a rightful use of state law should have led to the "acquittal", Pilate should have "granted legal protection to the Church" (2). >Secularization/Barth, Governance/Barth. 1.
