Best Answer

He read the questions through his Christological emphasis-- Christ as God's response to the human questions of theodicy. Specifically for Barth, this takes the form of the cross. This is God's answer. God enters, through his Word, into the human question of theodicy by becoming "the death of God himself." This emphasis is also linked to revelation as God's response of "yes" to humanity's "no". In our rejection of God, God responds, and that response is not what it should be. Instead it is the surprise of God's acceptance of us in the face of our refusal of him. Finally, Barth would emphasize the "Godliness of God" and the infinite qualitative difference between God and the world, and between the Creature and the creator as the context in which questions of theodicy are always raised. What is articulated in questions of theodicy, is at its fundamental basis, about this difference between God and the world. This difference cannot be overcome by human self-striving, and therefore the limits to our ability to comprehend an answer to the questions raised by theodicy-- what is required is a revelation that comes from outside this world-- from God himself. And for Barth, this event of revelation happens in the Word-- Christ.
