CREDINȚĂ ȘI ACȚIUNE ÎN LUMINA DECIZIILOR EXISTENȚIALE

Abstract

Faith and Action in the Light of Existential Decisions. Faith is man’s response to Christian Revelation. It involves rational knowledge, hermeneutical understanding, and is followed by an existential decision. Becoming a foundational element of a Weltanschauung, faith transcends theoretical aspects and becomes the motivational engine of acts that are free, conscious, and endowed with moral value. From the analysis of the pattern of conversion and the transformation of faith in the first Patriarch, Abraham, as well as in the son of obedience to faith, Isaac, we arrive at a delimitation between what is normal and what is pathological, between balance and ideological extremism, and even at the question of motivation in the absence or rejection of God, in the context of atheism.
