The purpose of this book is indicated in its title:
Theology of Culture.
The title is an
abbreviation of the title of my first published speech, given in the Berlin section of the
Kant
‐
Gesellschaft: Über die Idee einer Theologie der Kulture
(On the Idea of a Theology of
Culture). It is a source of great satisfaction to me that after the passing of forty years I can
take the title for this volume from my first important public speech.
In spite of the fact that during most of my adult life I have been a teacher of Systematic
Theology, the problem of religion and culture has always been in the center of my interest.
Most of my writings—including the two volumes of Systematic Theology—try to define the
way in which Christianity is related to secular culture. Using some of these writings, the
present volume attempts to show the religious dimension in many special spheres of man's
cultural activity. This dimension, which is described in the first section of the book, is never
absent in cultural creations even if they show no relation to religion in the narrower sense of
the word. This dimension, and not any ecclesiastical control of cultural creativity, was, and is,
meant when the phrase "Theology of Culture" is used.

Foreword
My thanks are extended to my assistant Mr. Robert Kimball, who chose and edited from
amongst a large number of printed and unprinted articles and papers those which appeared
most fitting for this volume. My thanks are also extended to the Oxford University Press,
especially Miss Marion Hausner, and to Grace Cali Leonard and Lorna Thomas Kimball,
who assisted in the preparation of the manuscript.
