Summary/Abstract: The article attempts to interpret theologically the Christ’s Passion understood as the paradigmatic event for the Christian experience of the dark night. This theological interpretation, in order to maintain the largest possible explicative extent, in principle has to be theologically coherent with related disciplines of theology (theology of spirituality, dogmatics including trinitology, christology and anthropology). Moreover, this model of explaining should underline the primacy and totality of the God’s acting and reread positively both the mystery of the Christ’s Passion and the experience of the dark night.
