Reading an online Guardian article I came across the phrase 'cod theology' and I have no idea what it means. Strangely I can't seem to find a definition of it anywhere online, but the phrase itself seems to keep cropping up in search results - often in mainstream journalistic and academic texts.
After some research both 'Cod' and 'Tesus' seem to have something to do with Karl Barth, who wrote a work called 'The Knowledge of Cod and the Service of God'. But I do not understand what these names are supposed to mean.
Besides Barth himself, in all his theoretical complexity, what is this popular 'cod theology' term that's thrown around in journalism as if it ought to be common knowledge?
