Abstract

The present contribution offers a critical analysis of the contemporary post-theist debate. It aims to show how many post-theist approaches, while acknowledging the crisis of classical theism, resolve it through symbolic or anthropological reductionism and thus remain unable to provide a rigorous account of the Absolute. On the basis of this diagnosis, the article proposes a christologically grounded interpretation of post-theism. It argues that the Christian event does not follow the crisis of theism but rather anticipates it and structurally assumes it through the logic of kenōsis. The Incarnation and the Cross are interpreted as the self-negation of divine power, the place where God reveals himself in withdrawal. From this perspective, Christ appears as the point at which the nihil of God becomes thinkable, showing that only within a christocentric horizon can a coherent form of post-theism be articulated.
