Summary/Abstract: The author of the article does not introduce only the content of the commented text, but aims at grasping the unifying notion of the first encyclical of Pope Francis Lumen fidei. According to the author, it is a dialogical personalism, consistent and with prophetic boldness, which is the philosophical ground for the formulation of the Trinitarian concept of faith which means the living participation of the baptized in the relationship of the sonship within the Godhead in the strength of the Holy Spirit. Such a concept of faith is nonideological, having a huge liberating force which subsequently diffuses outside the church as well and to the entire creation.
