Cuvântul lui Dumnezeu într-o lume secularizată
The Word of God and the secularized world

Summary/Abstract: The base unit of the speech is the word, as being specific to human being and the seal of divine image into the human being and therewith the icon of incarnate Word, insofar as the speech reflects the godlike greatness. Man participating to godlike mysteries, collaborating with Christ – incarnate Word, with His Church, integrates in the divine-human dialogue. The effects of desacralisation or secularisation lead to the loss of man’s sanctity and to his decay from the pedestal of human dignity. The epoch of incertitude, confusion and despair where the contemporary man struggles, is due to the fact that he left Christ, the one who stamped balance, sense and creator elan to the humanity through embodiment. Strange to his godlike greatness, the word is no longer creator and redeemer, but tensioning, poisoning and killing. Degradation, aggression and mutilation of words show the abandoning of sacredness or of the incarnate Word. In this secularised and decentred world, the Church must assume a missionary and healing role through the replacement and reconnection of Mankind to the source of Word. In a world that entered into a galloping phase of desacralisation, the Church and Theology must assume its responsibility and vocation to represent Christ – the Word and to prepare all means and competent strategies to announce and transpose into the life of mankind the authentic message of the Word.
