Barth, while dealing with the problem of the fall of man, near the beginning of his essay (this is not a Mexican greeting - essay Mon !?) has t his to say:
We will begin by stating that in all that we have to say at this point we cannot and must not deviate at any cost from the revelation or Word of God. (Barth, Church Dogmatics, vi.1, p478).
Spoken like a true believer. His critics might try gving him a read before doing the work of the Father in judgment.
Also, "The fall of man. The term corresponds exactly to what we have learned to know as the essence of sin -- the pride of man."
And the "Word of God" has this meaning to Barth -- " .......... by the Word and judgment of God we do not mean a revealed theory of supernatural origin and content about man, but the address and claim of God concretely attested to [man]." And, so, the "Word of God" has no single definition except the above. The "word" is scripture, Jesus, that which is spoken by a true prophet of God, that which is revealed through counsel, the still small voice, a circumstance that cannot be misunderstood and the like.
