A follower or adherent of Karl Barth's theological teachings and philosophy.
Formed from Karl Barth's name with the -ite suffix, a common pattern for naming adherents of philosophical or religious movements (like Marxist, Kantian-ite).
Barthites shaped Protestant theology so profoundly that entire seminaries were reorganized around his ideas—few theologians have created such loyal schools of thought that people proudly call themselves by the founder's name.
