The question about the methodological and epistemological status of the image of God in contemporary theology is soon to be posed in the socio-religious light of contemporary society. Departure from institutionally practiced religious faith is often seen as an image of God (and the relationship between God and man), which is becoming less and less acceptable to modern man. It is not only a matter of human disagreement motivated by an anti-religious attitude, but above all the influence of its distortion in contemporary theological, homiletic and catechetical transmission. This image, first created in theology, considerably increases the already heavy burden in relation to the moral obligation of man, and thus is largely impoverished by elements derived from his existential and spiritual experience. Recovering a more adequate image of God requires a thorough philosophical reflection on theology and the reconstruction of this image on the basis of an in-depth reference to the content, and the simultaneous linking them with the current religious experience that manifests itself in his existence.
