Karl Barth on Justification - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 234 Justification/Barth: The mental-theological problem that Barth saw himself confronted with due to the aggressive totalization of the Nazi state, he brought to the formula of the theological determination of the relationship between "justification and law". Objectively, the question of the establishment of modern constitutional democracy (theory) under the conditions of a still (according to its self-expectation) exclusively Bible-oriented theology of revelation was posed. >National Socialism/Barth. BarthVsSecularization: Barth rejected any basic theoretical connection to classically modern human rights or contract theories as a "secular message" and the attempt to "build a church of human rights"(1). >Secularization/Barth. Brocker I 242 Justification/State/Christ/Barth: Context here: the Church's task is "to proclaim once and for all that God has taken care of sinful man in the person of the Messiah Jesus out of pure grace, made his sin and his death his own affair and thus not only acquitted this man, but released him for the life lost to him for time and eternity"(2). >Jesus Christ/Barth. Such execution of the justification of the ungodly, which is constitutive in Christ, exemplary and carried out with universal-inclusive intention, has itself a legal character, that is, the character of the setting of a new order. It sets (...) a Christ right as the "right acquired in his death and proclaimed in his resurrection" (3). Thus Barth can explain "that the preaching of justification as a preaching of the Realm of God already now and here establishes the true right, the true state" (4). 1.Karl Barth, Rechtfertigung und Recht, in: Theologische Studien 1, Zollikon 1938.
