Theological Existentialism

Theological existentialism is a philosophical perspective that explores human existence through the lens of faith and divine relationship. It emphasizes individual choice, authentic self-awareness, and the search for meaning within a religious context, often focusing on personal experiences of God. Thinkers like Søren Kierkegaard and Karl Barth argue that true understanding of existence involves a passionate commitment to God, acknowledging life's uncertainties while trusting in divine purpose. This view balances existential themes of individual responsibility and authenticity with the belief that divine presence provides ultimate significance to human life.
