What is *God Here and Now* by Karl Barth about?

*God Here and Now* explores core Christian themes like revelation, grace, and ethics through seven essays. Barth argues God becomes knowable through Jesus, scripture, and preaching ("secondary objectivity"), bridging divine transcendence with human experience. It distills his theology into accessible insights on encountering God in modern life, addressing the Bible’s authority, the Church’s role, and critiques of humanism.

Who should read *God Here and Now*?

Theology students, pastors, and readers interested in 20th-century Protestant thought will benefit most. Its concise format suits those new to Barth’s dense *Church Dogmatics*, while seasoned theologians gain clarity on his views of revelation and ethics. Christians seeking deeper engagement with grace and scriptural interpretation will also find it valuable.

Is *God Here and Now* worth reading?

Yes, for its concise introduction to Barth’s theology. While some concepts remain challenging, the essays clarify his belief in God’s presence through flawed human mediums like the Church. Critics note its implicit arguments, but it remains a seminal primer on his mature thought.

How does Barth define revelation in *God Here and Now*?

Barth describes revelation as God’s "secondary objectivity" – His choice to become knowable through Jesus, scripture, and preaching despite their human limitations. This "miracle" allows the transcendent God to engage humanity directly, transforming theology from abstract doctrine into lived experience.

What role does the Church play according to *God Here and Now*?

The Church mediates God’s revelation through preaching and sacraments but remains a flawed, human institution. Barth stresses its mission to proclaim Christ’s grace, not moralize, while critiquing its alignment with secular power structures like nationalism.

How does *God Here and Now* address ethics?

Barth ties ethics to divine command rather than human reasoning. Moral action flows from encountering God’s grace, rejecting rigid rules. He emphasizes responsibility to neighbors, reflecting Christ’s love in social and political contexts.

What critiques of humanism does Barth present?

Barth rejects humanism’s reliance on human achievement, arguing it distracts from dependence on God’s grace. His 1949 Geneva address warns against conflating societal progress with divine purpose, urging humility before revelation.

How does *God Here and Now* interpret the Bible’s authority?

Scripture’s authority derives from its role in revelation, not historical accuracy. Barth sees it as a dynamic witness to Christ, requiring interpretation through faith rather than literalism.

Kapitel 1

The Divine Encounter: Where Heaven Meets Earth

In a world captivated by self-help philosophies and secular wisdom, Karl Barth's theological masterpiece "God Here and Now" stands as a revolutionary counterpoint. This work has influenced generations of theologians since its publication, with figures from Pope Benedict XVI to Rowan Williams citing its profound impact on their thinking. What makes this book extraordinary is not merely its theological depth but its unflinching insistence on the concrete reality of God's presence in human history. While many contemporary religious works drift toward abstract spirituality, Barth's vision remains startlingly immediate: God is not a distant concept but a living presence who confronts humanity directly through Jesus Christ. This encounter forms the foundation of authentic human existence and the Church's mission. As religious participation declines across Western societies, Barth's urgent message about God's sovereign Word speaking into our present moment offers a compelling alternative to both religious institutionalism and secular materialism.

Kapitel 2

God's Humanism: The Incarnation as Divine Revolution

When we speak of "God's humanism," we're not discussing one philosophical position among many. We're addressing the revolutionary claim that God became human in Jesus Christ - not as a metaphor or spiritual principle, but as concrete historical reality. This divine humanism exists in a specific form yet holds eternal validity, demanding comprehensive personal decision from all who encounter it. The Christian proclamation centers on this incarnation - "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us." Jesus Christ is simultaneously God's Word made flesh and the definitive Word about humanity. From this perspective, humans are precisely what this Word declares them to be - neither more nor less. This understanding stems from a specific conception of God not as abstract Reason or Power, but as the triune Lord who freely chooses to reveal himself in loving kindness. This relationship between God and humanity is one of free, electing grace - not necessitated by divine or human nature, but by God's sovereign, creative, merciful decision. Jesus Christ, as true God and true man, represents this union through grace. The Incarnation occurred at a specific historical moment among the Jewish people, yet holds eternal significance for all humanity. Jesus Christ stands effectively in place of all people - not as a symbol of general human reality, but as Emmanuel, God with us. Imagine the radical implications: we must understand humanity through this particular man, rather than judging him by general human standards. This reverses our typical approach to religious claims. Instead of measuring divine revelation against human experience, we must measure human experience against divine revelation. The Word made flesh becomes the standard by which all human life is judged and redeemed.

Kapitel 3

The Human Condition: Created, Fallen, and Sustained

From the Christian proclamation perspective, humanity must be understood through four essential points that reveal our true nature and condition. First, humanity exists fundamentally from God and for God - as creatures derived from and oriented toward our Creator. This creates a dynamic history of God's mercy toward us and our appropriate response of thanksgiving, obedience and adoration. Various philosophies offer partial truths about human nature, but true humanity exists only in relationship with the living God as our beginning and end. Second, human existence is inherently relational - we exist only in living relationship with others. An isolated person is no person at all. "I" without "Thou," man without woman, becomes inhuman. We are human precisely in our being together - seeing, hearing, speaking with, and standing by one another freely and gladly. Jesus Christ, as the one who exists for all others, reflects human existence both vertically (in relationship with God) and horizontally (in relationships between people). This perspective challenges both individualistic and collectivistic humanism. It defends the individual's distinctness while affirming society founded on mutual responsibility. It upholds discipline against Nietzschean excess and freedom against Marxist conformity - defending socialism to the West and personalism to the East. Human dignity exists only within this context of shared existence. Third, humanity does not exist in the reality for which we were created. We have strayed from our intended path into one where we continually stumble and fall. This inexplicable yet undeniable fact stems from our refusal to thank, obey and call upon God, and our desire to exist apart from our fellow humans. In rejecting grace and seeking to be as God, we have sinned, becoming guilty toward both God and neighbor. Haven't we all experienced this contradiction within ourselves? We know what is good yet repeatedly choose otherwise. We desire authentic connection yet sabotage relationships through selfishness. This rebellion has broken our foundational relationships, stalling the twofold history of human life and leaving us prey to nothingness and death. While classical humanism ignored this reality, and modern existentialists remain defiant, the Church must continue declaring how profoundly humans endanger themselves. Finally, the decisive word is that humanity - though estranged, endangered and lost - is sustained by God. Despite our faithlessness, God remains faithful. Jesus Christ's death represents not just accusation and condemnation, but primarily the victory and establishment of God's grace. God has taken our fatal harvest upon Himself and planted new seed in our place. By becoming the true man in our stead, God has spoken His word of forgiveness, new commandment, resurrection, and eternal life. Here we see God's grace as pure, free, unmerited - and also enduring, triumphant, ruling and effective. This is not merely religious truth but universal truth, the human condition prior to all else. Christian proclamation is fundamentally gospel - joyous good news announcing that God's kingdom has already come.

Kapitel 4

The Sovereignty of God's Word: Authority Beyond Human Control

The sovereignty of God's Word is grounded in Jesus Christ being God's Son. We speak not merely of God's sovereignty, but specifically of His Word's sovereignty. God Himself, who is for and with us, is the Word. When theologians separated God from His Word, seeking Him apart from it, they described not the living God but something else entirely - perhaps human nature, the world, or the god who apes the true God. This deep-seated mistake has plagued Protestant theology since the Reformation. We must seek God in His Word and His sovereignty in the sovereignty of His Son Jesus Christ. The Reformers taught us this, though we must go further than they did, letting God and His Word be one with even more emphasis, joy, and consistency. The sovereign act of God's Word is Christ's existence as the man Jesus, uniting our nature with Himself, taking our curse upon Himself to share His divine glory with us. In His condescension, He rises above every creature and god. His resurrection confirms what was accomplished at Golgotha - our reconciliation, justification, and sanctification. In Christ, every anxiety we could have is removed, as He stands victorious over sin, temptation, death, and hell. The sovereignty of God's Word manifests in three ways: First, in its omnipotence - the all-powerful love through which God turns toward the world. This is Creator-power, qualitatively distinct from all other powers. Because God Himself is the Word, this unlimited power stands at Christ's disposal and extends to Scripture, preaching, sacraments, and the Church's confession. Second, in its exclusiveness - there is one Mediator between God and humanity. God's Word travels a solitary road among religions and ideologies. It cannot be harmonized with other words, for there exists no second Word of God. It must be heard exclusively or not at all. Only in this exclusiveness is it truly the omnipotent, comforting Word. Third, in divine freedom - not blind fate, but the freedom of divine mercy and patience. This freedom gives us our freedom, asking that we place ourselves at its disposal in adoration. God's Word is true before we recognize it, and even when we reject it, we cannot help but give honor to its righteousness and mercy.

Kapitel 5

Faith as Decision: The Human Response to Divine Initiative

We cannot speak of God's Word's sovereignty without addressing ourselves and the decision of faith. We participate as recipients of His gift, included under the sovereignty of God's Word - supported, preserved, and moved by it. God's Word is the mediation between Himself and humanity. His Son has eternally made our nature His own, reigning at the Father's right hand in our flesh. He is not without us - He has us with Him, living our life in God's glory. Who are we with this inheritance? We are humans in the decision of faith. Everything else about us - our reason, sin, mortality, conscience - is secondary. In faith, we move toward that human nature united to Christ. The decision of faith is the human correspondent to the Word of God. Faith means "that with body and soul, both in living and dying, I am not my own but the possession of my faithful Savior Jesus Christ." I depend on God's Word, letting myself be nourished and ruled by Him. I grant Him rights over my pride and humility, letting His Word be loud while I remain quiet. This is our true humanity. Faith is always decision - choice, crisis, transition. We believe as those torn from unbelief yet standing on its rim. "I believe, O Lord, help my unbelief!" We trust instead of denying, surrender instead of asserting ourselves. Faith is our only true possibility. Fundamentally, it is not we ourselves who decide in faith. If we believe, we believe in the consummation of the sovereign act of God's Word - the work of the Holy Spirit happening to us. We have no power over it; it is not at our disposal. In faith we stand before God as forgiven sinners. We can only choose as those who have already been chosen! Yet because God Himself has decided about us, our faith must take the character of decision. The decision of faith happens on earth, in fear of divine judgment, requiring us to give specific exposition to God's command. We must obey, even when the accomplishment seems beyond our strength. It's better to appear presumptuous than to persist in neutrality under the guise of humility, which is already the decision of unbelief. No fundamental limits can be put on the decision of faith. Its compass must be as large as demanded by the sovereignty of God's Word. Woe to us if we arbitrarily limit it to mere intention or theological reflection, to the private realm or even just to the "realm of the Church"! A limited decision is not the decision of faith.

Kapitel 6

The Bible as God's Living Word: Authority and Interpretation

The Bible's authority cannot be established through external reasoning but must be understood as an analytical proposition expressing a fundamental reality: the Bible simply has a specific authority within the congregation of Jesus Christ. Like a child who can only affirm "this is my mother" when asked why, the Church can only affirm the Bible's authority as self-evident. This relationship between Bible and congregation is a given circumstance that cannot be proven but only witnessed to through repetition and affirmation. In the time between Christ's resurrection and return, Jesus Christ's presence and Lordship takes visible form in the witness of His chosen prophets and apostles. Though Christ's kingdom has no boundaries, the congregation founded on biblical witness is where His presence is acknowledged. The Bible is not merely one authority among many but the visible form of Christ's otherwise hidden presence. The biblical witnesses, despite being fallible humans limited by their times, possess a unique truth and validity because they testify to Jesus Christ as the center of all things. Their testimony, whether anticipating or proclaiming Christ, reveals the confrontation between the gracious God and sinful humanity as the central meaning of all existence. This witness has special authority precisely because of its subject matter and the witnesses' election and calling to this task. The Bible stands as the single normative form of God's Word. While many ideas about God exist, only one true knowledge comes from God's self-testimony. The Church acknowledges this uniquely visible and normative form of God's Word by establishing the biblical canon, confessing God's election of these witnesses. Have you noticed how Scripture continually surprises us? The Bible proves itself to be God's Word through its actual effect: it summons, comforts, and exhorts the Church in Christ's name, giving its proclamation freedom, direction, and fullness. This self-proof, called "the witness of the Holy Spirit," happens when biblical witness finds human hearing and produces obedient response. Where this occurs, the Church comes into being. Scripture interprets itself, possessing a clarity grounded in its authority. This clarity isn't an inherent property but emerges when biblical witness speaks and gains hearing. The Bible doesn't expound itself to passive listeners but draws them into active service of interpretation according to their capacities and faith. Though God's Word isn't at human disposal, its transparency becomes a gift placed in human hands, making exposition a necessary human task and activity for the Church's authentic existence.

Kapitel 7

The Church as Living Community: Event Rather Than Institution

To speak meaningfully of the Church requires consistently focusing on the living congregation of the living Lord Jesus Christ. Without this focus, even the most profound theological language about the Church as Christ's Body, Bride, City, or People becomes hollow. All discussions of church nature, unity, order, and mission lead nowhere unless centered on this concrete reality. The Church exists dynamically as an event happening between Christ's resurrection and His future return. In this unique historical interval, God gathers friends who witness to the world's reconciliation in Christ, heralding His victory over sin and death. The Church is not a static institution but a divine-human gathering that occurs as God's act reaching from heaven into the created world. The Church's essence is the event where people are placed together before the fact of the world's reconciliation in Christ, under both condemning grace and gracious judgment, summoned to thanksgiving and neighborly love. This peculiar togetherness forms the congregation of "saints" within general human history. The Church exists only as this dynamic human event. This essence manifests as Christ giving Himself to individuals, making Himself known as their Lord and the world's Lord. His sovereignty awakens free obedience, creating mutual relationships based not on constraint but on shared subordination to Him. The Church points to both Christ's sovereignty and the resulting free community. The Church happens when God's Word in Christ touches certain people so deeply that their entire existence becomes a corresponding answer. These people receive freedom to account for Christ's truth, His self-sacrifice, and His lordship as the Resurrected One. Unlike the world, where God's work remains merely objective, in the Church God's work awakens both as divine Word and human response. Though Christ lives "sitting on the right hand of God," His congregation exists in the midst of world history. The Church is divine regarding its Head but undeniably human as Christ's Body - an element of creaturely, threatened reality. Its existence is secured only from above, from God, not from its human members. The Church receives security, justification, sanctification, and preservation only through God's Word and Spirit, only in its Lord Jesus Christ. The Church's threatened existence demands not merely support or improvement but genuine renewal - a continual reformation corresponding to its original formation. Without this ongoing reformation, the Church falls into being non-Church. This renewal can come only from its living Lord Jesus Christ.

Kapitel 8

Christian Ethics: Living in Response to Grace

Ethics seeks to answer the question of dignity, correctness and excellence in human activity. Christian ethics specifically answers this question from the standpoint of Christian confession, not through human reasoning or conscience, but by hearing and responding to God's commandment. Unlike philosophical ethics, Christian ethics doesn't begin with reflection but with hearing - repeating what God has already said about human activity. It's connected to the history between God and man, particularly focused on man's active role in this divine-human drama. The foundational history for Christian ethics is breathtakingly simple yet profound: God became man in Jesus Christ, suffered and died as a condemned criminal, was raised from the dead, and thereby exalted all humanity to God's glory. This history of God's covenant and mercy calls out to human activity. The good, in Christian terms, is that human conduct which corresponds to God's action in this history - namely, thankfulness for God's grace. Evil is the opposite: conduct that contradicts or ignores this history, marked by unthankfulness toward God's grace. From this foundation flow all virtues and vices. In Christian ethics, conscience means knowing what God has done for us and knowing ourselves as God knows us. The Bible serves not as a law book but as the essential document of God's covenant history and the life conditions created by God's grace. Christian ethics moves through the world of human morals, testing everything and preserving only what best praises God's grace, often surprising conventional moral standards. Christian ethics finds clarity and meaning only in the context of God's history with humanity. It looks back to this divine-human encounter while Christian dogmatics looks ahead to human response. The two cannot be separated: "Christian work is the fruit of Christian faith, Christian law is the form of the Christian gospel, and Christian ethics is the imperative of the indicative of Christian dogmatics." Christian ethics emerges as the unity of work and prayer - work beginning in prayer, prayer ending in work. It calls upon God while seeking to live according to its petitions and praise. The primary acting subject is not human but divine: "God does something and does it in such a way that man is thereby called to do something in turn." God's call within the history between God and believers constitutes God's command. Human conduct becomes good when it corresponds to the indicative of God's grace, for what God has graciously done includes the divine imperative within itself.

Kapitel 9

Beyond Humanism: God's Answer to Human Searching

At the 1949 Geneva conference on humanism, philosophers, historians, theologians and scientists engaged in open dialogue across diverse perspectives. While the gathering achieved human connection in an "inhuman era," it revealed profound disagreements about humanism's definition and purpose. Despite ten days of discussion, no unified vision emerged - only mutual stimulation without practical consensus. The conference revealed competing conceptions of humanism. Some viewed it as rooted in classical Western tradition - "cultivation of spirit and soul through familiarity with Greek and Roman literature." Others rejected this historical focus, arguing humanism meant openness to diverse cultural perspectives or simply "what we put into it." Some defined it as "critical reflection about man," while others equated it with specific political movements. Several distinct humanist visions emerged: a cosmopolitan humanism valuing the individual within free institutions; a view that man's distinguishing feature is his drive for change; a Marxist humanism identifying private ownership as the source of human alienation; a biological humanism celebrating man as reasoning matter; and German existentialism portraying man as transcending self-knowledge, finding freedom in personal decision-making amid technological threats. From a theological standpoint, both Catholic and Protestant representatives avoided promoting a "Christian humanism" - recognizing that terms ending in "ism" are inappropriate for theological language. The gospel isn't a principle, system, or moral philosophy, but "spirit and life." While the question of humanity is central to the gospel, theological understanding begins where humanisms end. Theology can understand various humanisms but must ultimately challenge them all as abstract programs. It neither competes with them nor offers an equivalent alternative, finding the very concept of humanism tainted with "a little godlessness and a little idolatry." Instead, Barth speaks of "the humanism of God" - not humanity originated by man, but God's friendliness to man as the source of all human rights and dignity. The conference revealed an ambiguous mixture of tired optimism and elegant pessimism, with few expressions of genuine joy or authentic despair. Notably absent was serious engagement with guilt or death, leaving the true condition of contemporary man unaddressed. Without "genuine, comforting certainty and hope," humanity cannot be truly seen. The concrete human exists only within the context determined by Christ's centrality - defined by his judgment and grace. "The true man for all time is the lost and rescued man who is seen in the mirror of Jesus Christ." Only through Jesus Christ can humanity's full depth of misery and dignity of hope be properly understood.

Kapitel 10

The Church's Mission: Delivering God's Message to the World

The church's mission resembles that of a letter carrier - delivering a message not of its own making, whose contents are not at its discretion. This message of the Incarnation's gracious mystery demands not grudging consternation but adoration. While the message's content remains fixed, its presentation requires "nimble, humble, questioning" Christians employing all their "power, faith, and skill." The Church's task is to deliver this message of God's free grace, and the Church's freedom is grounded in this task. This message must be delivered under divine commission, not as human observation or philosophy. It speaks of God - not human imagination but what has been "heard, learned, and repeated in the school of this God's own Word." The message comes from Christ Himself, who is both its subject and source. It cannot be forced into systems or philosophies, nor can it serve "arbitrarily chosen wishes, goals and plans." It must be announced "in Christ's place," in service to His word and work. The Church has nothing of its own to proclaim. It delivers this message "like a postman delivers his mail," without imposing its own interpretations. The Church is not asked about its adequacy for this task but must simply use what it has in service to the message. It need not worry about success but must "toss its seed about" with holy thoughtlessness, trusting the one who commissioned it. The Church exists by living for this commission, not as an end in itself. It has "no line of retreat into a churchly subjectivity." Its preaching, sacraments, exegesis, and dogmatics are all forms of "assault" - forward movement. It prays to work and works because it has prayed. The Church exists for the message of God's free grace, going "with it into the whole world" to make it concrete through relief work and bold political decisions. It delivers this message "to all people." The Church is not asked whether people accept it or whether it deserves their confidence. It has no diplomacy or strategy toward them. Like Jesus who "was moved with pity" for the people who were "tormented and exhausted like sheep without a shepherd," the Church must be moved by the same compassion. The Church "can be the Church only as the people's Church," existing for ordinary people with their serious and childish concerns, confused consciences, dullness and illusions. This message, even in its weakest forms, always has something original to say that people would hear nowhere else. Its "plain extraordinary character" is inexhaustible, establishing the Church's right to exist. It awakens the sleeping Church like "an incomparable trumpet" and produces "free Christians" who dare to begin fresh despite all worldly and churchly constraints. As long as such Christians arise, the Church will be freed again and again. The Church must rely on the message itself, not on secondary matters of ritual or constitution. "One thing only is necessary" - the free grace of God, which must be grasped anew in every generation.

Über den Autor

Karl Barth (1886–1968) war ein Schweizer reformierter Theologe und der Autor von Gott hier und heute. Er revolutionierte das christliche Denken des 20. Jahrhunderts mit seiner Betonung der göttlichen Offenbarung und Gnade.

Barth ist bekannt für seine monumentale Kirchliche Dogmatik, eine 9.300-seitige Untersuchung der Kernlehren der Theologie. Durch dieses Werk gestaltete er die protestantische Theologie neu, indem er Gottes Souveränität ins Zentrum rückte und menschenzentrierte religiöse Rahmenbedingungen kritisierte. Sein früheres Werk, Der Römerbrief, definierte die biblische Interpretation neu, indem es die liberale Theologie herausforderte und die transzendente Autorität der Schrift behauptete.

Als maßgeblicher Architekt der Barmer Theologischen Erklärung von 1934 leitete Barth den Widerstand der Bekennenden Kirche gegen die NS-Ideologie. Diese Haltung kostete ihn seine Professur an der Universität Bonn, woraufhin er seine Arbeit in Basel fortsetzte.

Barths Schriften, die in über ein Dutzend Sprachen übersetzt wurden, verbinden strenge Wissenschaftlichkeit mit pastoraler Dringlichkeit und halten die Waage zwischen doktrinärer Tiefe und ethischer Klarheit. Sein Vermächtnis lebt in der modernen Theologie fort, wo sein Beharren auf Gottes „Ganz-Anderem“ und der christozentrischen Offenbarung grundlegend bleibt. Allein die Kirchliche Dogmatik hat Generationen von Theologen beeinflusst und Anerkennung als eines der ehrgeizigsten systematischen Werke des Christentums gefunden.

Ich bin seit 24 Jahren PhotoReading-Trainer für beschleunigtes Lernen… Bücher, Lesen und Lernen sind mein Ding, und BeFreed liefert einen innovativen Ansatz, Wissen leicht konsumierbar aufzubereiten und zu vermitteln — wirklich gut gemacht.

Es ist nicht nur eine Buchzusammenfassungs-App: Ich habe die Option „Fun Reading“ ausprobiert — eine viel bessere Zusammenfassung und ein besserer Weg, Ideen zu erfassen als auf die klassische Art. Allein das ist den Preis wert.

Ich liebe diese App. Ich benutze sie seit ein paar Tagen und kann nicht aufhören zuzuhören. Ein großartiger Einstieg.

Ich mag das Programm wirklich sehr; ich teste es jetzt seit etwa einem Monat und finde, es ist ein echtes Juwel. Es funktioniert so gut, weil ich mit BeFreed meine eigenen Themen erstellen kann, und die Stimme ist großartig — mit unbegrenzter Auswahl an Erzählstimmen.

@DanielCZ

Ich liebe es, nützliche, verdichtete Informationen und Ideen in einem 8–15-minütigen Audio im Podcast-Stil zu bekommen. Ich bin eigentlich kein Podcast-Fan, weil da so viel Füllmaterial dabei ist — aber hier fällt das alles weg.

@BeFreed user

Ich bin gerade dabei, meine Doktorarbeit abzuschließen, und muss viel unbekanntes Material lesen… Bei BeFreed gibst du einfach einen Prompt ein, die App findet Quellenmaterial für dich und erstellt einen Audio-Podcast. Ich finde den Ablauf in BeFreed schlanker als bei NotebookLM.

Ich suche oft auf YouTube nach etwas zum Anhören — beim Frühstückmachen, Spazierengehen oder Pendeln — und BeFreed bietet einen noch gezielteren Ansatz, ohne Werbung und ohne Füllmaterial!

@BeFreed user

Das absolut Beste an dieser Plattform ist ihre Vielseitigkeit. Es gibt buchstäblich kein Thema, das nicht geht. Sie meistert alles, was man ihr gibt… Es ist selten, ein Lerntool ohne Einschränkungen zu finden, das seine Versprechen wirklich hält.

BeFreed ist fantastisch. Das benutzerfreundliche Design bedeutet, dass ich weniger Zeit mit Navigieren und mehr Zeit mit Lernen verbringe. Die Mischung aus Hörbüchern, Podcasts und Lernplänen ist eine geniale Kombination, die meinen Alltag komplett verändert hat.

@BeFreed user

Am Anfang habe ich eine Weile gebraucht, um zu verstehen, wie man Podcasts auf Italienisch erstellt — und dann: boom! Es ist so großartig! Ich kann mir jedes Thema erklären lassen, und das macht es richtig gut und richtig clever!

@matteo77

BeFreed ist meine tägliche App für Hörbücher geworden… Am besten gefällt mir, dass man seinen Text einfügt und ein Audio bekommt, das man unterwegs anhören kann.
