Summary/Abstract: The current era as never before has been marked by phenomena indicating a deep moral, anthropological and social crisis. It affects the quality of life of both individuals and multiple communities of an ethnic, cultural, racial, religious, etc. Teaching of the Church, asfundamentally directed at explaining the contents of Divine Revelation, cares for the human good, formulating structures of healthy humanism, in defense against the effects of postmodernism and nihilism. The present article presents basic theological notions which underlie the redefinition of the notion the humanism in the context of contemporary aspects of theanthropological crisis. The first part discusses the theological foundation for defining the value of a person and a family. Biblical sources concerning the creative and saving concept of the social order, conditioned theologically, are included here. The second one describes the immanent reductionism, detailing atheism, materialism, agnosticism, eclecticism, relativism, historism, scientism – as concepts defining aspects of the anthropological crisis.
