Summary/Abstract: The Church can and must use all the forms of a given culture on condition that the main aspects of the biblical conception must be kept. The Church, in these situations, must realize what is important and must keep this at any cost. This is not a task as easy as the history of the patristic era show. It underlines the crucial importance of theology in all its aspects. Theology must try to reach a convergence in what the essential aspects of the Gospel are concerned, aspects which must be kept even though they are expressed in different cultural forms. Without theological knowledge and sensibility it can be a little dangerous.
