Abstract

This article represents an inquiry in how the theologian Karl Barth understand love in relation with knowing God and how this perspective may provide an opportunity for believers to relate to the world by understanding God's ongoing concern for a world which He created as a result of love. By reflecting on how Barth describes the relationship between eros and agape, together with trying to understand how God is at work in the world Barth proposes both an understanding of God's love as a way of knowing God but also participating in His purposes.
