Abstract

The problem of meaning of life is among those most fundamental questions facing contemporary Western man on which centered theist existentialists. In the paper, an approach by theist existentialism has been studied; as concluded in an analytical descriptive method, theist existentialists, reconsidering traditional concept of God, try to consider God as an absolute, holy and transcendent being, open a new way and, therefore, relate meaning of life to him. Needless to say, this philosophical position will surely be minimal and unacceptable for many of those religious people knowing the existence of God to be reasonable and demonstrative.
