Abstract
Two short essays contain a cogent summary of the "theological" thought of Herman Hesse: Glaube Mein (My belief) (1931) and Ein Stückchen Theologie (A piece of Theology) (1932). For Hesse, all religions have the same value, they all lead to God, each one saves its devotees, it is necessary to honor in each of them what they have in common, and there is only one God. These are all ideal principles that lead to universal religion, to the religion of the future which will be a bridge between the East and the West (1922). These are all highly pioneering perspectives.
