Summary/Abstract: In this article, I aim to outline the path of Christianity’s rebirth through the spiritual renewal of the Individual, that is, a subjectively existing human being. The Danish theologian, using the paradox as an expression of some situations that reveal the existential character of human life and a tool of expression, introduces a new language and a new possibility of communicating inherently inexpressible content. From the dialectical tension and resistance which the paradox arouses through the clash of contradictions, and from the depths of its antinomity, a creative movement of thought arises. This procedure made it possible for Kierkegaard to extract a living Christian thought that freed the sacrum from the dogmatic religious tradition closed in dead rites.
