You can use what terminology you like, but the problem with theological boxes (as you may well know) is that they draw conclusions that are not necessarily accurate for the individual. To be honest, I really don't know the full implications of Barthianism or Crisis Theology but what I've read starts out with a solid scriptural premise and devolves to humanism from there. I am not in any way promoting a humanism, or (as Barth apparently did) a softening of the Commandments (as to their inspiration or necessity). And I found a little quote on a site that deals with 'Crisis Theology' that I think you would say applies to me. If I address it (I hope it isn't made of straw wink ) maybe you'll understand a little better where I'm coming from.

The Theology of the Movement
God is totally sovereign and free in grace. He is Wholly Other and can never be known to man by reason; He can only be known by faith. The revelation of Himself to man by God is in the written Word, the Flesh and Blood Word, and the Holy Ghost who is the Word in Spirit. God reveals Himself to sinful man. The gulf between God and man can never be bridged by man. Religion, education, philosophy, science, intellectualism and metaphysics are all completely impotent. Only the Word made Flesh can bridge the gap.
- from a paper by Rev. Earl Cripe entitled NEO-ORTHODOXY An Analytical View

I'll break it down.

1. God is totally sovereign and free in grace. This I hold absolutely and without apology.

2. He is Wholly Other and can never be known to man by reason.. "Verily, Thou art a God that hideth Thyself." Reason cannot fully know God, it can only be a secondary tool. I'll expand on this later. As this phrase is made, it is absolutely true.

3. He can only be known by faith. Again, absolutely true. 'Known' and 'understood' are separate propositions. The first is intimate and unlimited. The second may be merely observational and can stop at mental assent.

4. The revelation of Himself to man by God is in the written Word, the Flesh and Blood Word, and the Holy Ghost who is the Word in Spirit. God reveals Himself to sinful man. No doubt in my mind. The revelation is in Spirit. The written word may be (as scripturally described) the Word of God.

5. The gulf between God and man can never be bridged by man. I don't see at all how this is objectionable. Christ is the only bridge. God must reveal Himself, for NO ONE seeks after God.

6. Religion, education, philosophy, science, intellectualism and metaphysics are all completely impotent. This is where I part company. Complete impotence is a ludicrous assertion. God gave us a sound mind, He gave us minds to determine things. But He also gave us spirits. Now before you start charging me with gnosticism, I realize that not all uses of the term 'spirit' are to be taken identically in scripture. But here is certainly a key that is missed. Human understanding and logic and reason are below God's. That is to say they are inferior. However, it does not mean they are impotent. In the case of the Christian, the believer who has met God, has had a transformation spiritually, then they begin to realize (I use this word because it isn't necessarily an intellectual act, but neither does it necessarily come upon them as a bolt of lightning) that the mind of man is indeed not able to please God. It may be able to divine certain things from creation etc..., but it cannot bring a man to Christ in faith. Faith and reason, in the unregenerate, are diametrically opposed. However, faith and reason in the believer are in proper order. The one subordinate to the other.

But the crux of the matter is belief, faith, acceptance of that which we cannot mentally encompass - not mental assent to an historical figure, a set of miracles or even doctrine. Why not? Because the seed in fertile ground must be accepted wholly. Not merely in intellect. Paul says in I Thessalonians 5:23

"And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. "

The whole man. The intellect is not the only part of man that accepts things, but unless the seed drops into the fertile soil (deeper than the mind), it will not bear the proper fruit. The mind of man is a thing of disbelief from inception. We do not believe what we have not seen unless we have proof. But the proof that is inherent in something accepted on true faith is more encompassing and compelling than the proof that can every be obtained intellectually. So good soil receives the seed (the Word) in the inner man (that is, by faith) and afterwards, the man that has received it by faith can see and understand (because he has received it by faith) to give a reason for the hope that is in him. He can reason with others out of faith, not out of intellectual assent. But in the end, it is not the intellectual arguments that bring a man to Christ, it is the Spirit which draws, convicts and judges. And how do we KNOW we are the children of God? Not intellectually, but as Paul says:

"The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:"
Romans 8:16

There may be objection that involves the Bereans searching the scriptures to see if these things be true. But this is no contradiction to what I am proposing. The mind of man receives things, and, as said before, the Bereans would search the scriptures to see if they lined up with Paul's words. And not words only, but spirit. If the spirit of what Paul said to them lined up with the spirit and letter of the scriptures the Bereans had, then they would be able to receive him without reservation. Study is not, as many seem to believe today, simply an intellectual exercise. It is (especially in light of scripture) an exercise of the spirit. The seed in good soil is received, and the thorns of doubt and the cares of this world choke it. The intellect is easily clouded because it is designed to doubt. Faith, by its very nature, is anti-doubt (so to speak).

As to the Word of God in scripture, it is not the letter. The letter, as Paul said, is glorious in its own right but the glory of the Spirit far exceeds it. The ministration of the letter is the ministration of death. And the Word of God is conveyed by the Spirit of God. And how do we know the Word of God?

"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
Hebrews 4:12

Which leads me to the final point I will make in this post. Discernment is decidedly NOT an intellectual act. Though the faculties may be exercised, discernment is spiritual. Discernment divides the good from the bad, the right from the wrong, that of God from that not of God.

"But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. "
I Corinthians 2:14

The natural man cannot know these things - even though one such as Paul expresses them to him. Why? As Paul says, they are spiritually discerned. The letter is naturally discerned by anyone who knows how to read. Discernment of spirit requires spirit - flesh cannot do this, the natural man cannot do this. The Word of God is spiritual first and natural second. Because God IS a spirit, His words (as Christ's) are spirit and truth. And those who (as Christ said in John 5) do not have His Words dwelling IN him will not accept Him - even with the scriptures pointing to Jesus in big neon, flashing lights. Be every seeing but not perceiving, ever hearing but never understanding.

I say all this because I don't want to make the debate about whether believe Barthinianism or Crisis Theology or whatever. Such labels are rarely 100% accurate and do little but attempt to give someone a broad brush with which to dismiss or accept another. I hope this post will make things clearer.

"But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, [b]and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.
[u]For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power."
I Corinthians 4:19,20
