Abstract: Human violence from a missionary perspective. The remedy for violence consists in our transition from an anthropo-centric conception to a theocentric one for only God can help us to defeat the violence inside and outside us.This oscillation does not fully solve the problem because if God’s death was declared in the name of anthropocentrism, man was often crushed without mercy on behalf of theocentrism.The dilemma between anthropocentrism and theocentrism is solved only in the Person of Jesus Christ the Saviour who remains, in the same time, God and man, both on earth, during His earthly activity, and in heaven, after His staying on the Heavenly Father’s right.The spiritual crisis of the contemporary world, where violence reached alarming levels, is the result of deist conception that broke the link between God and man, given in Christ, and that isolated God in an inaccessible transcendence.
