More of Hordern's description of Barth. I think I'll have to get a copy of Hordern for myself, as well as delve into Barth more.

The Christian does not obey out of fear or weakness; he obeys out of joy and strength. The man who obeys without joy is disobedient in the deepest sense. He is like the man in Jesus' parable who comes dutifully to the banquet because he is invited but fails to wear a wedding garment to express his joy.
