基督教對海德格思想發展的影響不容忽視。海德格出生於一個保守派公教家庭，他進大學的時候最初是一位神學系學生。即使在他正式脫離公教體系以後，他還自視為一位基督教神學家。一直到1935年，他還為他的出生的信仰而苦惱。本文將以《存在與時間》所呈現的基督教影響為主題，嘗試指出基督教仍然是他早期思想中很多重要概念的源頭。

The influence of Christianity on the intellectual development of Heidegger can hardly be exaggerated. Heidegger was born in a conservative Catholic family. He first entered university as a student of theology. Even after his formal break with the system of Catholicism, he still considered himself a Christian theologian, and as late as 1935, he still had to struggle with the faith of his birth. The theme of this treatise is the Christian influence on Heidegger as it is displayed in Being and Time. It aims at showing that many important concepts in this opus magnum of Heidegger have their origin in Christian thought.
