本文旨在詮釋黑格爾如何踰揚基督教神學中，所包含的彰顯、和解與精神三個概念的優點，將此優點保留在思辯哲學體系之內，成為自己體系的一部份。以及，黑格爾如何揭示基督教神學的實定性格和啟示性格，所包含的缺失。基督教道成肉身概念體現了一種精神直觀，直觀到人性與神性可以具體統一在一個現實的人身上，人就是直接現存的上帝。然而基督教將這個神人統一理解，表象為在特殊的歷史契機、通過特殊的中介、以聖神顯現的形式，啟示給有限精神，因此雖然達到「絕對精神」的個體性理解，但尚未達到「絕對精神」的普遍性理解。因此世界精神的嗣後發展就是要揚棄「以偶然的神性意志、在特殊歷史契機、通過特殊的中介、達成『從神到人』的聖神顯現的單向過渡形式」的特殊性理解，以達致符應於「以絕對精神的必然性、在永恆的自身彰顯、通過絕對精神的自身中介、達成『從神到人』以及『從人到神』的雙向過渡」的普遍性理解。 The purpose of the present article is to explicate how Hegel preserves the advantages of revelatory, reconciliatory and spiritual elements of Christian religion, and how he cancels the disadvantages of positive and revealed elements of it. These provide the foundations for the logical deduction of consummate religion. Christian idea of incarnation embodies a spiritual intuition , which unifies humanity and divinity in the person of Jesus Christ. An actual man can be an immediately present God. However, the Christian idea of incarnation being represented as revealed to human being at a specific moment, in the mediation of a specific mediator, it falls short of the universal comprehension of absolute spirit. The ensuing development of Weltgeist is hence to sublate the aforementioned particular comprehension, in the hope of attaining to the universal comprehension of the necessary, eternal self-mediation of absolute spirit.
