ABSTRACT

This work is sold on the idea that Christian theology can be and is relevant to us in the society and that one of the important aspects of the Christian faith, the cross of Jesus Christ, can be the point of departure of a critical and liberating relationship between Christians and the society. The theological submission of Jurgen Moltmann about the meaning and relevance of the death of Jesus Christ on the cross is one that calls us to reflect on the images we have made about God that do not take cross into consideration or that do not go deeper into its meaning. The death of Christ on the cross, helps us to reformulate our perception of God’s identity and constantly keep us asking critical questions about the divine pretension of the political class in our country.
