Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present the possibility of constructing and to indicate the methodological determinants of the incarnational argument using the psychological--existential method. Constructing the incarnation argument takes place in two stages. First, the human situation is analysed and the ways of solving it are presented. Because modern man is unable to cope with many existential problems, the search for answers takes place on the plane of Divine Revelation. Understanding the truth about man and the meaning of human history is possible through the mystery of the Incarnation. In Jesus Christ, Incarnate Son of God, we can find complete and ultimate solution to the existential problems of human life. The article also points to the need to link the incarnation argument with other arguments for the credibility of Christianity.
