[I.] Religion and Culture. (1959/60) 1. The technical pocedures (Kimbal) 2. The right to interrupt and the hope for short, typed questions on the desk. 3. Not a popular lecture about everything and a little bit more, but hard conceptual work. This especially nee- ded with religion, about which everybody can say something. (the difference to the scholastic and orthodox situation). This good and bad. (fides implicita) 4. The relation of the semesters. Independence possible, but continuation desirable, because the basic conceptual work in the first semester; and the postponement of many answers to the second semester.

[II.] 5. The plan for the first half of the first semester. a] A lecture, showing the inner {conflict} tension of religion, leading to the necessity to distinguish the smaller and the larger concept of religion (historically and systematically) b] A lecture showing the ambiguities of religion which produce the just and injust attacks on religion; these ambiguities follow fom the inner tension of religion under the conditions of man's predicament. c] A lecture locating religion in the human spirit. Locating means showing the relation to culture and morality according to their essential unity. d] showing the possible conflicts between these three in their existential separation. e] The idea of a theonomous culture on our subject.
