Karl Barth on Christian Church - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 241 Church/Christian Church/State/Barth: Barth thesis: there is a "necessary politicization of the church"(1). Therefore, the "importance of the state for the Church" in ontological order consists in the fact that the Church becomes aware of its own original statehood ('politeuma'). The ecclesial proclamation refers to the eschatological erection of the "city of eternal right, in which there are no transgressors [...] but which does not need a temple either", because the "lamb will be their temple"(2). >Governance/Barth, >Democracy/Barth, >State, >Society. The structural definition of such "eternal right" can be read from its determination as "the right of Jesus Christ". "And this eternal right of Jesus Christ is the content of the message of justification which is the task of the Church now and here"(3). >Jesus Christ/Barth. Brocker I 243 "The state as a state knows nothing of spirit, nothing of love, nothing of forgiveness. The state carries the sword" (4). For this reason, the Church's participation in political legal discourses can always have the character of a "series of assurances, all of which have Christian existence as such as a prerequisite and an objective" (5). The Church could therefore also "expect" (6) but precisely "not demand" (7) stately security guarantees neccessary for the execution of its proclamation. 1.
