Abstract
This article aims to discuss the relationship between reality and fiction and its implications for the formulation of theological discourses. It is based on the assumption that, in general, the fictional is viewed with suspicion by religion and Christian Theology, insofar as it starts from a mistaken conception of reality, which is why relations between Theology and fictionality are still relatively unexplored. It is based on the discussions that originated the tradition of reception aesthetics, especially in its fictional aspect, as proposed by Wolfgang Iser, and analyzes the fictionality in its relation to rationalist discourse and dogmatic thinking. Finally, based on the contributions of Joseph Moingt and George Lindbeck, it proposes two theological contributions with the intention of recovering of the fictional thought as an alternative to the dogmatic/conceptual. Moingt helps us to understand God as a being-for-us. Lindbeck, through his cultural-linguistic theory, helps us to discuss the language and the place it occupies in the formulation and communication of theological contents.
