Descubrimiento y encubrimiento de Dios en la experiencia de la humanidad.

- Abstract
The history of humanity--in addition to its fight for subsistence, power, and development of the various cultures--is a history of pursuing mystery and divinity upon feeling that "God is there." In that quest, discovering a God as a personal reality has been often considered as the final destination of many other wrong roads. But maybe it is not, and we may not claim that we truly know his name or what he really is. Perhaps the mystery eludes us constantly and when we think we have figured it out, we have not reached God really but an idol made in our own image and likeness. We may not attempt to attach God to certain notions and words that exclusively belong to our actual, tribal, and limited culture. God is always something more; it is even something more than an individual reality and, whereas we want to talk about him rightfully, "we know him as a stranger."
