Hiddenness, Analogy and History

The hiddenness of God revisited. As alluded to in chapter two, the hiddenness of God, for Barth, is neither an a priori assumption nor a demonstrable truth. What Barth means by God’s hiddenness is that human language, conceptuality and noetic equipment are insufficient for arriving at a knowledge of God on their own. But knowing about God’s hiddenness is only possible in the light of actual knowledge of God.65

It is in faith, and therefore in the fulfillment of the knowledge of God, and therefore in the real viewing and real conceiving of God, that we can understand the fact that we know, view and conceive God, not as a work of our nature, not as a performance on the basis of our own capacity, but only as a miraculous work of the divine good-pleasure, so that, knowing God, we necessarily know His hiddenness.66
