Christian Existentialism is a philosophical movement that combines elements of Christianity with existentialism. It emphasizes individual experience and personal choice, asserting that faith is a deeply personal journey. Proponents believe that one must confront the absurdity of life and make authentic choices in the context of their relationship with God. Key figures in this movement include Søren Kierkegaard, often considered the father of existentialism, who argued that true faith requires a leap beyond rationality. Christian Existentialists explore themes of despair, freedom, and the search for meaning, suggesting that understanding one's existence is essential to a genuine relationship with the divine.
