Milestones in Christian history: May 10, 1886

Notes: May 10, 1886. Karl Barth is born in Basle, Switzerland. A Reformed Swiss pastor and opponent of theological liberalism, Barth has been described as the most important Christian theologian since St. Thomas Aquinas. Asked in 1962 how he would characterize the essence of the millions of words he had published, the neo-orthodox theologian replied with a profound simplicity: 'Jesus loves me. This I know, for the Bible tells me so'."
