| Summary: | The aim of this paper is to present Karl Barth as one of the most important sources of the contemporary post-secular turn in the Christian theology and philosophy. The paper will be divided into four parts. (1) First, I will present Barth's polemics with liberal theology of the 19th and 20th century. There his critique of religion, Christianity and idolatry is to be discussed. (2) Secondly, I want to describe Barth's influence on Gabriel Vahanian. My goal is to find Barth's ideas in some of the death of God theology strands. In my view, due to the Barthian inspirations, Vahanian, contrary to most of his secular fellows, initiated a post-secular turn in the very beginning of the death of God secular theology. (3) The next point will be to delineate the interpretation of Barth's theology of revelation made by Graham Ward. In Ward's view there is "a fundamental affinity" between Barth and postmodern thinkers. (4) That will contribute to the general, post-secular thesis, i.e.: any language is of a theological nature. I will try to present and accompany that Ward's point. |
