The A. discusses the relationship between Christianity and culture. He stresses the point that Christianity itself, being an incarnation, is an inculturation. He recalls the analysis of R. Niebuhr and the various ways of coupling Christianity and culture. He considers the views of P. Tillich and H.U. von Balthasar who, in their time, have intelligently tackled the essential question: in which way is faith in Christ relevant to a given culture, and vice versa? He finally evokes the present context of globalisation, and he detects, in the challenges of our age, fruitful and meaningful inter-relationships between Christianity and culture.
