Summary/Abstract: The course of human life is one of continuous adaptation and understanding of new social, economic and cultural realities. In this itinerary, under the constant reinvention of ideologies, the religious dimension and identity are subjects to challenges, some of which are atheistic and have as their agenda the invalidation of Christian values. The idea explored in this study is that authenticity, as thought of in Christian theology offers a constant validation on the criterion of Truth which is Jesus Christ. Contrary to the nihilistic philosophy that proposes a new condition of the human, namely, Übermensch - Beyond-Man - the theological foundations of anthropology are not consumed in a philosophical-cultural process.
