Dialectical method threatens to abolish divine sovereignty for Barth.

Evidence

The identification of God with the dialectical method, even if it did not signify that He was identified with man’s act of life, implies a scarcely acceptable limitation, even the abolition of God’s sovereignty, which makes even more questionable the designation of that which Hegel calls mind, idea, reason, etc., as God. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 736
