I have been reading Barth's "The Word of God and the Word of Man." It's a wonderful read; very sermonic at times. However, it did raise a question that I have concerning Barth's view of natural theology.
In the introductory essay, given in 1916, Barth claims that conscience is "the only place between heaven and earth where the righteousness of God is manifest." This statement seems strange, coming from Karl Barth. Both the primary and secondary sources which I have read seem to state that Barth rejected any sort of natural theology.
I guess the question that needs to be asked is: how did Barth change from his early years (1916) to the later years (Christian Dogmatics)?
