Barth believed in reading the New Testament in what manner?

  • Literally

  • Metaphorically

  • In a different way

  • Without interpretation

Answer

In a novel approach, Barth believed in reading the New Testament not merely as a historical record but as a living document that speaks directly to the individual. He emphasized the importance of personal interpretation and engagement with the text, rather than relying solely on traditional interpretations or theological frameworks. By doing so, he sought to make the New Testament relevant to the lives and experiences of contemporary readers.
