ABSTRACT
The university teacher of theology must be a man at once committed and uncommitted. He must be committed to a grave fundamental seriousness about the problems of Christian belief. In the university community theological study as interpreted has obviously close relations with philosophy, history, sociology. The theologian in the university today must live and work as a man who has to establish his right to exist. The involvement of theology as a subject in the total life of a university ensures that its emphases are continually fertilized by ideas flowing from other fields of study. The theologian is certainly in the university's debt. The very prestige of the exact experimental and observational sciences continually reminds him of the power of their methods, and the complex involved structure of those of his own discipline.
