Description: The primary problematic of Christian hermeneutics which strikes at the essence of Christianity is the claim that Jesus Christ is God's sign of revelation and salvation for mankind and that Christ founded the Church as the sacrament, not symbol, of his saving presence among men until the Parousia. This is an especially acute problem for modern man because it seizes him at the very roots ofhis existence, compelling him to make a definitve response.
