Having asked attention for the cultural constitution of subjectivity, he deals with the historicity of the human being. Three variants of a diachronic cultural psychology are briefly presented. The author makes a plea for a (psycho)historical psychology of religion as enriching the different branches of religious studies and theology. %U https://www.aup-online.com/content/journals/10.5117/NTT1996.1.001.BELZ
