Abstract:
Karl Barth responded with his theology to Nietzsche’s dictum “God
is dead” by stating that God is the living God. God does not need
the human race to exist. God reveals God self to humankind
whenever God wills. Barth agreed with Nietzsche that the god of the
nineteenth century was a “Nicht-Gott”. The article aims to discus
Karl Barth’s respons to Nietzsche’s impulse towards the
development of a concept of God that would lead to neither atheism
nor theism. The article argues that Barth paved the way for talking
about God by defining God as the “communicative God”.
