Neo-orthodox is a theological movement that emerged in the early 20th century, primarily associated with the works of Karl Barth. It emphasizes the transcendence of God and the importance of divine revelation over human reason. Neo-orthodox thinkers argue that traditional religious beliefs must be re-evaluated in light of modern experiences and existential questions. This movement contrasts with both liberal theology, which often prioritizes human experience, and fundamentalism, which strictly adheres to traditional doctrines. Neo-orthodox theology seeks to affirm the centrality of Christ and the authority of Scripture, while acknowledging the complexities of faith in a contemporary context.
