Dialectical theology held faith as risk with humanity and God incompatibly opposed
Evidence
The defenders of this position placed a theology of the Word of God in opposition to the `Man-God’ of liberal neo-Protestant theology, and emphasized, with reference to Kierkegaard in particular, that Christian faith was a risk, that humanity and God were incompatibly opposed, and that the separation between religion and science, faith and theology could not last indefinitely if there was to be any claim to theological authenticity. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 400
