The Knowledge Of God And The Service Of God According To The Teaching Of The Reformation The Gifford Lectures Delivered In 1937 And 1938 by Karl Barth
The Gifford Lectures Delivered in 1937 and 1938
A concise restatement of Reformation teaching, this work argues that true knowledge of God arises solely from God’s self-revelation in Jesus Christ and the witness of Scripture, not from human reason or natural theology. It explores how hearing and trusting the Word leads to obedient service, uniting doctrine and ethics as a grateful response to divine grace. Drawing on Luther and Calvin, it clarifies the church’s proclamation, the role of faith, and the limits of philosophy, culminating in a call to responsible action shaped by God’s command amid the crises of modern society.
