AB - Hauerwas and Barth share a similar theological starting point in that they explore the task and role of the church through Christological concentration. However, they express almost opposite positions on the relationship between church and state or, specifically, church and liberal-democratic political system. While Hauerwas strongly criticizes the church's assimilation into a liberal democracy, which pledges religious freedom, Barth regards liberal democracy as an 'analogy' to the Kingdom of God proclaimed by the church and emphasizes its cooperation with civil society for the development of liberal democracy. This paper does not aim to force a choice between the two poles. Instead, the article shows that an exclusive attitude toward liberal democracy, as Hauerwas does, is not the only conclusion that results from the Christological concentration of theological exploration. That church's cooperation with civil society to develop liberal democracy can be an alternative conclusion of Christological concentration will be issued. In the process of comparing Hauerwas and Bath, it will come to light that Hauerwas' assessment of his own ecclesiological, Christological attention and his criticism of liberal democratic state as being a legacy of Barth's theology is nothing but a misunderstanding to Barth's thought.
