Discerning God's Work In The World: Tips From The Times For Preachers: A spendid accolade for Karl Barth in (gasp) the New York TimesMonday, January 14, 2008A spendid accolade for Karl Barth in (gasp) the New York TimesIn the New York Times book review section yesterday, Jim Holt (who I understand has an Episcopal priest in his background somewhere), reviews a book (yet another one) purporting to prove that God does not exist. The book is called Proof and it is by a mathematician, John Allen Paulos.In the review, Holt notes that Paulos,"like other neo-atheist authors," is "innocent of theology....Ann Coulter turns up in his index, but one looks in vain for the name of a great religious thinker like Karl Barth, who saw theology as an effort to understand what faith has given, not a quest for logical proof." Bravo!
