It is this aspect of kenosis that the present article tries to explore and build upon. One key element will be the meaning of the concept of \u201ca-theist\u201d Christ \u2013 coined by Bloom \u2013 and how this status of the incarnated Son can function as a basis for our identification and solidarity with today\u2019s atheists. By the way of kenosis, the incarnation brings together in one hypostasis the divine and human nature. This reality endowed both our nature and created order with significant dignity. This paper explores the possibilities from this dignity and how it can serve as a bridge for dialogue with humanists and materialists. As Bloom suggests, this can open the discussion towards the secular world and Christians could take some responsibility for the process of secularization. The objective of this article is to demonstrate that Anthony Bloom\u2019s controversial idea of \u201ca-theist\u201d Christ can become a connection point with the other and a mirror in which western Christians might look at some of their anthropological shortcomings that hamper their solidarity and dialogue with those who do not share the faith in God.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keywords<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>atheism, solidarity, kenosis, God-forsakenness, secular world<\/p>\n<p class=\"al-j\"><strong>Hr\u010dak ID:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"al-j\">266775<\/p>\n<p class=\"al-j\"><strong>URI<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"al-j\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hrcak.srce.hr\/266775\">https:\/\/hrcak.srce.hr\/266775<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Original scientific article https:\/\/doi.org\/https:\/\/doi.org\/10.32862\/k.15.2.4 The \u201cA-theist\u201d Christ: Kenosis as a Way of an Identification with Atheists in the Theology of Anthony Bloom Teofil Stanciu Full text: english PDF page 195-205 Abstract For Metropolitan Anthony Bloom, the kenosis of Christ climaxes with his God-forsakenness on the cross.
