The Church has never formulated an official doctrine of the atonement. Unlike the Trinitarian and Christological doctrines, the atonement was never a major issue in the early ecumenical councils. This central mystery of the faith, which speaks of the restoring of the relationship between God and man through Jesus Christ, has resisted every attempt at 'a formulation or statement in a nutshell'. Tillich has suggested that the Church's refusal to state the doctrine in definite dogmatic terms, is the instinctive recognition of the indefiniteness which is introduced by the human element. This element means that the doctrine has a subjective as well as an objective element. Since in his view the subjective element depends on the incalculable reaction of men to God's provision of a Saviour the formulation of the doctrine must remain uncertain. While we will agree with Tillich that the atonement has an objective as well as a subjective side, we cannot agree that the failure to formulate a doctrine has only to do with the uncertainty implied by the will of men.

Hence the reflexive character attributed to such investigation, to apply to itself, which had as one of its axes that epistemological, in order to highlight the religious a priori that there is in all investigation of and interference in human subjectivity. In order to understand the current situation of the individuals that we are, individually and collectively, so that it could be adequately inquired, we provided to combine approaches from philosophy and psychoanalysis, which proved to be capable of contributing to reveal the psycho-political dimension of religion / Partindo da consideração de que a constituição da subjetividade humana tem como um de seus a priori, assim como a linguagem, o modo como estabelecemos relação com a dimensão religiosa, encetou-se investigação sobre o componente psicopolítico que ali se faz presente, apontando para possibilidades de se introduzir a preocupação com esta dimensão assim no tratamento clínico, privado, como no engajamento político, público, dos sujeitos na contemporaneidade. Daí o caráter reflexivo que se atribui a tal investigação, de se aplicar a si mesma, que teve como um de seus eixos aquele epistemológico, a fim de evidenciar o a priori religioso que há em toda investigação da e interferência na subjetividade humana. Para que a situação atual dos sujeitos que somos, individual e coletivamente, pudesse ser adequadamente inquirida, procurou-se conjugar enfoques oriundos da filosofia e da psicanálise, capazes de contribuir para revelar a dimensão psicopolítica da religião
