Neal Be Who You Are: Karl Barth's Ethics of Creation 2010 .txt text/plain 510 16 48 Barth grounds the goodness of creation not in its own independent reality, but in the goodness of Jesus Christ, who, as Barth works out in CD II.2, is the concrete form of the command of God and fulfillment of the covenant between God and humanity. In this chapter we see that to be human is to be a creature who can transcend her nature and limits in an encounter with the other, yet such an encounter with the transcendent other allows the creature to exist more fully and properly as a covenant partner with God in creation and not outside of it. cache/2r36tx33k50.txt txt/2r36tx33k50.txt
