Summary/Abstract: The contemporary man, and perhaps especially Christian, feels himself torn in to direction. On the one hand, he wants to be a good Christian, and he is moved in the direction of worship, adoration and faith in Christ. On the other hand, he believes in man and man’s eff ort to build up the world, in human progress, in diff erent philosophy and political conception, in human potential to build the future. Both of these directions seem good and deserving of all his eff ort, but they seem to be two diff erent directions. There is an apparent conflict between the upward impulse of faith, worship, adoration and the forward in the direction of faith only in man, faith in the liberally world, faith in human progress, faith in economy and political philosophy. This apparent conflict between man’s upward impulse toward God and his forward impulse toward progress results in a spiritual dualism. Therefore a man in our time will better know himself and reality of the progress of the world in the authentic value of our civilization too. On the way of renovation of his life in the faith’s dimension, has a man the possibility to find the motivation to live in the new light of God’s love.
