Summary/Abstract: This paper is an outline of the metaphysical argument for the credibility of Christianity. this argument is based on the original metaphysical level present in Christianity, which allows to give answers to fundamental questions about the nature and sense of all reality and human existence although anthropological and metaphysical issues have not been fully discussed in this paper. This article consists of following parts: narrow and wide concept of metaphysics, sources of the metaphysical argument, metaphysical credibility of Christian revelation and the church and effectiveness of the metaphysical argument. This paper very often reminds the teaching of John Paul II containing many suggestions supporting this argument. In the end the author suggests to develop the metaphysical argument by making some kind of interreligious comparative study of metaphysical elements present in all religions.
