Abstract

The rise of modem science, philosophy and culture, of new political and social movements resulted in growing secularization in all of those areas. The medieval religious limits were breaking down and the life was taking new ways and examining critically its own past forms. The Christianity was not able to cope with those new conditions and claims and that has its practical as well as theoretical consequences. This applies especially to Catholicism, which, insisting on its incorrigibility and eternity, opposed the new trends and dismissed the modernization, but Protestantism also has been forced to response to that challenge of modernism. The author examines the following crisis in Catholic and Protestant theology in the last decades of the 19th century and especially after the World War II. The paper is to be continued in next issues.
