摘要：The purpose of this work is to theologically actualize the existential meaning of the event of the cross. The text offers some of the baselines of every speech about the cross pretending to rise to the range of today’s theological developments and insights. In the introductory part the author refers to the pluralism of pictures, approaches, models in theology of the cross throughout Christian history. Then he analyzes the traditional understanding of the event of the cross as an “atoning sacrifice” advocating for a spiritual-existential understanding of sacrifice. Also, he relates the category of redemption to global salvation and liberation. In the final part of the work the author sees the event of the cross as a culmination of the creative-salvific God’s history and places it in relation to the doctrine of original sin. The event of the cross is understood as the culmination of radicalization of the process of revelation of God’s unconditional love directed to the liberation of human freedom.
