%X This paper attempts to analyze the place that Christianity occupies within the framework of Martin Buber¡¯s thought and to present some of the arguments brought by Buber in order to support his conception regarding Christianity. There is a great number of books, articles and studies belonging to Buber that touch, on different levels, the topic proposed, nevertheless, the most significant for this paper is Buber¡¯s book Two types of faith, intended as a comparative analysis of Judaism and Christianity. Buber¡¯s perception on Christianity is characterized by the dualistic perspective that defines his whole philosophy. The two paradigms that represent the basis of Buber¡¯s entire thought (the world of Thou and the world of It) are to be found at the basis of ¡°the duality of faith¡± he postulates. Thus, the analysis will be carried on two different levels, which, however sometimes share common elements.
