Toward a Monotheism of Communion

Abstract

As the title makes clear, this text offers a very brief account of how God made himself known among the people of Israel also through mystical experiences (for example, Moses and Elijah), in his transcendence and immanence. In a time, however, when monotheism was affirmed absolutely in Israel, the Christ event revealed to faith a God who  opened to humanity his very own communional intimacy. A rapid consideration of very ancient texts such as 1 Cor 8:6, Phil 2:6ff and Mk 15:39 opens to the reader the Mystery that theology would later develop. In conclusion, a response to the question: Was Jesus a man divinized by the Church?
