This book draws the philosophical contribution of Martin Heidegger
together with theological-spiritual insights from the East,
especially that of Nikolai Berdyaev. Thus, it brings into dialogue
the West with the East, and philosophy with theology. By doing so,
it offers Christian theology an existential-spiritual language that
is relevant and meaningful for the contemporary reader. In
particular, the work explores Heidegger's 'being towards death'
(Sein zum Tode) as the basis for theological-philosophical
thinking. Only the one who embraces 'being towards death' has the
courage to think and poetize. This thinking, in turn, makes 'being
towards death' possible, and in this circular movement of thinking
and being, the mystery of being reveals itself and yet remains
hidden. Since the work aims at demonstrating 'being towards death'
through language, it transitions away from the common formulations
and traditionally accepted ways of writing (dogmatic) theology
towards an original, philosophical reflection on faith and
spirituality. At different points, however, the work also retrieves
the profound thoughts and theologies of the past, the insightful
creativity of which cannot be denied.
