Barth is smart
John H Monday 2nd June, AD 2008
Tortoise of Dissent presents the theology of Karl Barth as rewritten by Dr Seuss:
Look, here’s Karl. Now gather round:
he will show you what he’s found.
Word is spoken (can you guess?):
God’s big No and bigger Yes.
Yes, I like the Son of Man!
Yes, I choose him, says I Am.
Do read the whole thing. The last two lines in particular are great fun.
ToD’s tribute is a response to the new book on Dr Seuss by my father in Christ*, Robert L. Short, as reviewed by Ben Myers.
(* Well, his book The Bible According to Peanuts is what sealed the deal for me when I was returning to faith 14 years ago. Seriously.)
