<br />Title: Christianity and the Other Universal Religions in the Late Troeltsch.<br />The three lectures that Troeltsch should have given in Oxford in 1923, and that have been published posthumous in 1924 by F. von Hügel-Kensigton as “Der Historismus und seine Überwindung”, will be placed in their historical context and analysed. <br />The relation of Christianity with its cultural background will be compared to similar relations of the other religions with the respective cultures.
