Abstract EN:

One of the main endeavours of christian theology is to ally the natural or rational experience bearing on world, on man and on god with the reception of the scandal of the cross. Endless theologians try to join together the two edges of this broken line : analogy of being versus analogy of faith, while they show its impossible continuity. In a long series going from the period of the new testament to ours, hegel, at his turn, has tried to taken up the challenge, by taking again the acquisitions of his predecessors, specially paul and luther. Nowadays, j. Moltmann, d. Bonhoeffer, e. Jungel, h. U. Von balthasar and s. Breton, as well as many others carry on the reflection on the topic. Hegel's performance exerts a massive influence on contemporary theology. Theologians who more or less follow the german philosopher, as well as those who oppose to him, or keep themselves distant from him, or rely on him to go beyond him, all of them have, at various stages, embodied his inheritance. At first, we analyse the concept of the death of god according to hegel (first part), in order, then, to appreciate the hegelian challenge in contemporary theology (second part).
