Existentialism and Christian Faith

Existentialism is a philosophical approach that emphasizes individual freedom, personal responsibility, and the search for meaning in a seemingly indifferent or chaotic world. It explores how people create meaning despite life's uncertainties. Christian faith, on the other hand, centers on belief in God and the teachings of Jesus Christ, offering purpose and moral guidance rooted in divine presence. While existentialism focuses on personal choice and authenticity, Christianity provides a framework of divine purpose and hope. Some see them as compatible—Christian faith giving ultimate meaning, and existentialism emphasizing individual responsibility within that faith.
