This is the first of three essays in fundamental theology–along with Religious Pluralism and Christian Truth (1996) and Conventional and Absolute Truth (2015)–which attempt to reassess the status of Christian doctrinal language within the contemporary regime of truth. In light of Heidegger’s overcoming of metaphysics, it revisits the age-old tension between Athens and Jerusalem–between the metaphysical structures of the Greek mind and the texture of the biblical events of revelation and salvation. A deconstructive reading that traces this tension in classical Christian texts–continued in later studies. Including Christianisme et philosophie chez Origene, Editions du Cerf, 2011–clears the ground for a step back to biblical realities as they are apprehended in contemporary consciousness.
