Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the concept of ethical testimony as presented in the works of Emmanuel Levinas, and the extent to which this view is consistent with a Christian approach. What does it mean to testify in word and deed? What are the conditions and limits of ethical testimony? What must I do in the face of another person? How does God enter into our relationship? Am I taking someone else's place when I am in this world? Does suicide come from loving a someone person and from living a truly human life? The consideration of these and similar questions in the light of the correlations between Levinas's philosophy and Christian doctrine makes it possible to rethink the categories of human responsibility, intimacy, justice, peace, conscience, guilt, holiness, martyrdom, suicide, and others.
