Abstract

Since "The Epistle to the Romans" (German: Der Römerbrief) of Karl Barth was published, D. Bonhoeffer and P. Tillich have in particular asserted that Barth denied the religion. As a result, the tendency to interpret the religion itself negatively and to take a negative attitude toward the viewpoint that Christianity is a religion has spread throughout the world. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that Karl Barth did not deny the religion but acknowledged it through dialectical abolition (German: Aufhebung). In order to make this argument, I have re-examined his "The Epistle to the Romans" (second edition) and "Church Dogmatics" (German: Die kirchliche Dogmatik I/2, §17)analytically. As a result of this study, the following three points have been clarified. 1) Barth considered two dimensions, that is, the false and true religions in religious conception. 2) He denied religions existing in historical reality by regarding them as false religion. 3) He insisted that Christian religion is the true religion through the revelation of God. His third point is a kind of dialectical positive. In particular, the insistence of K. Barth that Christian religion is the true religion is similar to the religious thought of Fr. Schleiermacher. In fact, in the "The Epistle to the Romans," K. Barth criticized Fr. Schleiermacher for praising the religion.
