This book provides a detailed account of Julián Marías's metaphysical anthropology with the ultimate aim of offering a coherent and systematic analysis of Marías's argumentation for claiming that the conscious hope for Christian salvation through resurrection and with it the hope that Jesus Christ did actually resurrect, and more generally the hope that Christian revelation is true is justified not because the certainty or the likelihood that this salvation will, as a matter of fact, actually occur, but because this hope amounts to a self-affirming exercise, a conscious endorsement of human reality, and as such a sign of authenticity.

Provides a coherent and systematic analysis of Julián Marías's metaphysical anthropology Analyses Marías's claim that Christianity is justified as being the natural outcome of the human condition Points out the contemporary philosophical and theological relevance of Marías's position
