Summary/Abstract: This study aims to introduce the means in which the christological doctrine is reflected within the new gnosticism context. The premise consists in the fact that the twentieth century has faced a strong spiritual revirement, a true religious and pseudo-religious explosion, together with a reverse of christological discourse within the western christian areas. If for the christian doctrine, Jesus Christ is true God and true man, the absolute truth, ,,the measure and the aim for everything”, in today neognostic society we deal with a wrong, unilateral reception of christological doctrine. From this point of view, in nowadays society, considered as being an syncretistic, neognostic, esoterical one, critical approaches of Jesus Christ Himself and His preaches drastically increased, the Church itself responsability to propelry answer these challenges.
