FUTURE FACE OF CHRISTIANITY

Abstract

The author of the article reflects on the future of Christianity. Its features will include the disappearance, at least partially, of the existing forms and the appearance of its new versions. The purpose of the analyses, which consist of two main parts, is to show, above all, the situation of Christianity in contemporary European culture – marked by an aversion to it, depriving it of its supernaturality, treating it functionally and denying it the right to be in possession of the truth. It is emphasized that religion will survive by being an inalienable element of the structure of human beings and a response to human existential problems, and attention will be paid to the four basic forms of future Christianity (reduction to ethics, pantheistic versions, transformation into spirituality and life in diaspora).
