Reading through Barth is to discover a mine of quotations from other writers - the man appears to have read everything. Here are two from this morning's reading.
First Augustine:
"Non mediator homo praeter deitatem, non mediator Deus praeter humanitatem. Ecce mediator: divinitas sine humanitate non est mediatrix; humanitas sine divinitate non est mediatrix; sed inter divinitatem solam et humanitatem solam mediatrix est humana divinitas et divina humanitas Christi." (Sermo 47:12 2)
and then Martin Luther:
"Christ is the light of men through his humanity .... through which his divinity shines as through a mirror or a coloured glass, or as the sun through a light cloud; for the light is ascribed to the divinity, not the
humanity; yet the humanity is not despised, since it is there as the cloud and curtain of this light." (Pred. uber Jn 1:1ff.)
