Religion, the Arts and the Sciences  I. Development of the problems on the basis of actual experiences. 1. Reading the "Life of Christ in Masterpieces of Art." (Harpers). -  With words of the gospels. - From 11th to 17th century. - Nothing of the beautifying idealism of church- magazines, but --- ? 2. Problems coming from it: a] Life of Christ. Problem: religion and history ("Christ" a function. The historical element: "Jesus"). But is there such a life? b] Restriction to the Biblical words. Problem: Religion and language. (legend, poetry, myth). c] How do we look at these pictures? As works of art whatever the subject matter or at [...] religious message? Or both? But what is the relation? Is the aesthetic function religious or ...?

[2] d] And another question: Why did it stop with Rembrandt^b, middle of the 19th century. What has happened that no master- pieces of religious art appeared ever since? 3. After this listening to the records of {the} St. Matthew-pas- sion by Bach^d. {Bibli} Problems a] Transformation of the religious event into poetry and music. No problem of scientific ade- quacy, but problem of the relation of the poetic to the legendary - mythological, and of both to the musical? b] The way of being grasped, culturally (aesthetically) or religiously, or both? And how the relationship? c] The adequacy or inadequacy of a musical style to the drama of salvation.
