Barth held a true dialectic of grace requires God’s freedom from necessity

Evidence

In the eyes of Hegel’s theological readers, the Encyclopedia’s presentation of the religious moment of spirit leads, in an unprecedented manner, to the forced ‘submission’of God to logical necessity. In its development, Revealed Religion is punctuated by the concept of ‘alienation’ (Entäußerung), which undergirds not only the dialectical understanding of kenosis, but even, as a consequence, the comprehension of faith and representation. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 681 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
