Summary/Abstract: The present article continues the study of The Cyclopes of Christ, published in the Saeculum Journal in the fall of 2020, and presents the vision of liberal theology on the Christian religion. This article aims to take into account rationalist theology. According to it, between reason and faith - that is, between the two faculties that guide and express the person of each human subject - is a profound divergence in receiving and interpreting the truth of reality, phenomena and events that occur and make up human history. Therefore, in order to understand a revelatory message, a demythologized and, more recently, a secularized theological approach is needed. In his essay, Isus al meu, the Romanian thinker Gabriel Liiceanu initiates such a debate. This article proposes, in turn, its own perspective and is a response to the author already mentioned, as well as to the enthusiastic or vexed readers of his book.
