Abstract:
The thesis discusses the different modes of understanding in Barth's and Pannenberg's dogmatics on the relationship between religion and revelation, revealing the theological value of religious phenomena. Barth's Kirchliche Dogmatik and Pannenberg's Sytematische Theologie form the basis for the discussion, while the relationship between religion and revelation is the clue. Although Barth emphasized the theological value of critically looking at religious phenomena from the standpoint of the revelation of God in Jesus Christ, and Pannenberg emphasized the understanding of God's revelation from the perspective of diverse religious phenomena in history, both insisted that the reality of the divine object itself is the source and guarantor of religious truth claims. Therefore, although they each explain religious issues in dogmatics from different paths, neither denies the theological value of religion, since understanding the relationship between religious phenomena and the divine object is the basis for affirming its theological value.
