The Essence of Christianity

Title of a text by Feurbach
In The Essence of Christianity
(1841), Feuerbach argues that theology is disguised anthro-pology, claiming that the human being has created God in his own image and likeness. Henotes, however, that there are circumstances where the existence of God is no longer “a liv-ing truth” (Feuerbach 1841/ 1989, 203): “Where … the re of the religious imagination isextinct …there the existence [of God] becomes a dead, self-contradictory existence” (Feuer-bach 1841/ 1989, 203).[1]Stefan Bolea, Babes-Bolyai University
