Blessed Barth
"God's revelation reveals and discloses itself. It gives itself to be known. It creates the possibility of a seeing and hearing and understanding of itself. And so we can only read and expound that basic text... we can only act as those to whom it is given. we cannot try to get behind it. either behind the fact that it is given, or behind the way in which it is legitimate and possible for us to act in correspondence to this fact."
Karl Barth, Book Four, Church Dogmatics.
