Summary/Abstract: This article presents the philosophical and Christian representation of manunderstood as a rational, conscious and free being in continuous dialogue with thepeers and with God, his Creator. The central idea of Christian thinking has alwaysbeen the man seen as a religious, rational, free and conscious being. Man as an openrepresentation of openness to Being (Dasein), to Absolute. Therefore, for him (asexistence) being is both the basis of self-appreciation, acquired throughtranscendence from his world into a world (supposed to be) beyond, and a primaryaxiological reality; he appears to belong to his world - being a centric value in itsvalue system. The key concepts specific to the Christian religion are: God the HolyTrinity, the creator of the world and man out of nothing (ex nihilo), man bears theimage of God and is destined for holiness. The concepts: BEING AND THE PERSON– GOD, AND MAN are part of a research the philosophers have sought to deepen itcontinually. They have always associated the appearance of their existence withreligious, mythical, metaphysical life.
