SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Three times over the course of thirty-eight years, Karl Barth images God as the monster Leviathan (once each in the Epistle to the Romans, Church Dogmatics II.1 and& IV.3.1). Barth's imagination for God in monstrous form emerges from his interpretation of Romans 11:35, in which the apostle Paul quotes a line from Job 41:11, a poem about Leviathan, to describe the greatness of God. Using monster theory and a close reading of Barth, this article will discuss how God as Leviathan answers one of Barth's primary questions-namely, how it is that Jesus saves human beings from their headlong rush into the abyss. Moving from Barth's exegetical insights, through Barth's soteriology, the article ends with the ethics of a God made monstrous flesh-an ethics that Barth explicitly links to the status of prisoners and all those depicted as monstrous and cast into the abyss.
