Povzetek

Sekularizem je eden od sodobnih pojavov, na katerega v zahodnem svetu obstajajo protislovni teološki odzivi: od negativnih in kritičnih do pozitivnih in razumevajočih. Pisatelj Jon Fosse v svojih literarnih delih sekularni svet opisuje kot svet, ki potrebuje transcendenco – njegova literatura ponuja vsaj možnost dialoga med sekularnim in transcendentnim. Fossejeva dela odražajo vizijo teologa Johna Milbanka, da je sekularizem teološka herezija. Prispevek tako raziskuje skupna načela teoloških in literarnih perspektiv Fosseja in Milbanka in trdi, da je literatura pomemben sodobni locus theologicus ter skupna podlaga za dialog med religijo in sekularizmom.
