Karl Barth - Divine service in the penal institution

Recorded: Prison / Jail Basel, August 6, 1961

But be confident! Sound document from Karl Barth.

"So Barth called out to the prisoners on Christmas 1963 in Basel. In Basel prison, Karl Barth worked passionately as a pastor and preacher. In 1963 he gave a Christmas sermon there behind the walls. It was only published 15 years later by the TVZ -Verlag, on two cassettes. The quality of cassettes, unlike wine, does not improve with age. You can hear it for example with the organ sound. It sounds like a distorted electric guitar. That's why I digitized the tapes and make them here accessible. I wish you a thoughtful minutes."
