Karl Barth on Incarnation

Karl Barth was a complicated German Theologian whose work in Christian dogmatics is widely known as the most important theological treatises of the last 250 years. When lecturing at Princeton University in 1962 a student asked him. “Dr. Barth, What is the most profound thing you have ever heard?”

As he thought for a moment. Sometimes the most simplest thing expressed. The meaning is really quite simple. Have you ever heard the word “Incarnation?” Or that Jesus is “God Incarnation?” source
