The paper from a distance of present time analyses and evaluates the book of Karl Heim Glaube und Denken (1931). It appreciates the uncovering of a shift in the perception of the overall picture of the world, in which are no longer monistic conceptions of the world such obvious matter, symbolism of heaven returns in a speech about super-polar and it is much easier to take seriously the message of the biblical testimony.
The paper also reveals the missionary subtext of his work and points to the possibility of inspiration in connection with the development of mission theology.
