The Horrors of Two World Wars, the Cold War, and Attendant

The horrors of two world wars, the Cold War, and attendant socio-cultural upheavals have also stimulated a late twentieth-century religious revival exemplified in the works of Karl Barth, who has argued

A) that the Bible is the literal word of God and that salvation and consolation comes from accepting that "truth."
B) that the Bible, although not inherently true, still gives the best instruction for moral behavior.
C) that the sinful and imperfect nature of humans means that they can know religious truth not through reason but only through the grace of God.
D) that the mystery religions of Asia and the Middle East give humans a more transcendent sense of the divine and should come to replace Christian bigotry.
E) that a diversity of religious beliefs, including such "New Age" practices as witchcraft, the worship of healing rock crystals, and devotion to Gaia the Earth Mother, is a healthy sign of a new spiritualism in Western civilization.
