Christian theology has had various reactions in the face of the new world and the issues it has presented. These reactions can range from conflict and criticism to empathy and mutual understanding. The issue of secularization is one of the complex issues of the modern world that the church has faced. It took centuries for the Christian church to come to terms with this phenomenon and accept the distinction, separation, and reduction of role. Subsequently, many of the responsibilities traditionally held by the church were transferred to civil and social institutions. Secularization was initially criticized and denied by Christian theologians as a challenge. The debates between theologians and humanities scholars are a clear illustration of this confrontation. But it didn't take long for a number of theologians to back down from their initial claims and criticisms. It went so far that they attempted to present evidence from within Christianity to justify secularization as compatible with the teachings of the Bible and to provide theological justifications for it. To face this important challenge, they have presented opinions and theories that are closer to the thoughts of humanities scholars and the results of empirical scientific findings in this field. This research, which is qualitative and documentary in nature, attempts to study the works and views of Friedrich Gogarten, one of the prominent theologians in this field. The data analysis method in this study is conventional content analysis. These results demonstrate that the foundations of secularization can be found in the Bible.
