Abstract
Karl Barth’s legacy for a theology after Shoah and his openness for the reality of religious pluralism have been unfortunately distorted due to the general impression of him as the representative of neo-orthodox theology. However, Barth’s theology of Israel and reconciliation offers significant, yet provocative insight into the improvement of Christian theology after Shoah and for the reality of religious pluralism. In this paper, the issue is to retrieve hermeneutically Karl Barth’s legacy for a theology after Shoah and his openness for the reality of religious pluralism have been unfortunately distorted due to the general impression of him as the representative of neo-orthodox theology. However, Barth’s theology of Israel and reconciliation offers significant, yet provocative insight into the improvement of Christian theology after Shoah and for the reality of religious pluralism. In this paper, the issue is to retrieve hermeneutically Barth as a theologian of world openness with regard to Judaism and non-Christian religions, especially from the perspective of massa perditionis (the lost public mass; in Korean minjung).
