In the literature on interfaith dialogue or religious pluralism, Barth has often been accused of presenting a negative view of non-Christians. The misunderstanding largely results from Barth's dealing with the question of religion in a section of the Church Dogmatics 1/2 entitled ”The Revelation of God as the Abolition of Religion.” However, the word ”Abolition” is a misleading translation of the German term Aufhebung. Aufhebung has a twofold meaning, ”to abolish” and ”to exalt.” The title, hence, should have been translated as ”The Revelation of God as the Abolition and Exaltation of Religion.” In fact, in his whole discussion of religion, Barth is neither deprecating non-Christian religions nor undertaking a comparison of Christianity with other religions. What he is concerned with and trying to answer is a fundamental question: How to safeguard the particular theological criterion (the revelation of God in Jesus Christ)? The aim of this essay is threefold: (1) to explicate what Barth primarily had in mind in his critique of religion by analyzing the key term Aufhebung, (2) to show that Bonhoeffer's indictment of Barth's concept of revelation as ”positivism of revelation” is unjustified; (3) to argue that Barth was not a theologian who was dosed to dialogue with other religions. Therefore he was not an ”exclusivist.”
