摘要
In a time in which the death matter is neglected and trivialized marked by the weakness of the life meaning proposals such as hedonism above all. We understand the God's Spirit promotes and founds life on its entirety. On this article we work a theological matter, which is central to Christian faith - the humanity of God, as contact point so that the human being may be comprehended as a being of deep ontological density who is capable to face life and death whereof God. We are based on the texts "The eternal importance of Christ's humanity to our relation with God" (present in the work Theology and Anthropology) by Karl Rahner, and "The humanity of God" an article by Karl Barth. Theses theologians are renowned as two of the greatest thinkers in the 20th century and are our research inspiration. In this work we identified the central theses of the quoted texts and compared them in order to receive impulses for the construction of a God's humanity based spirituality, which has ethical implications, because the relationship with God founds, motivates and gives the whole existence and to the relation with the other a new meaning. Thus, we demonstrate that an ethical spirituality is possible, needful and urgent nowadays where the incoherence between life and faith is enormous and a disembodied, decontextualized and impotent spirituality is lived.
