Do we know what we are saying when we utter the word 'God'? Is talking about God the same as speaking about a person in a loud voice? Does God reveal Himself in what is known and liked?*

Karl Barth was one of the most influential theologians of the 20th century. He was a Reformed pastor and a social democratic activist. He developed political theology and was involved in the resistance against Nazism. Inspired by the Bible, the Reformation, and the thoughts of Kierkegaard, he worked on a commentary on the Letter to the Romans during World War I. In it, he opposed the bourgeois and optimistic Protestant theology of his teachers. Thus, he initiated a period of neo-orthodoxy, also known as crisis theology or the theology of the Word of God.

We invite you to a meeting around the first Polish translation of the 'Letter to the Romans (1922).' The special guest will be Ryszard Borski, retired evangelical military bishop and translator of Karl Barth. The open meeting will take place at the Reformed Evangelical parish in Warsaw on January 19, around 12:00 PM (after the Sunday service). It will be led by Dr. Mateusz Jelinek.

The meeting with the translator will kick off a new series of workshop sessions in the Parish titled 'Theological Study. We Read Barth.'

*To all these questions, Karl Barth answers 'No!'
