A história como sacrifício em Blaise Pascal

This work develops the theme of History in Pascal's thought through the theological notion of sacrifice. In Pascal's works, History is relevant only as Spiritual History, the history of salvation of the men that God has chosen among the sinners. As such, History cannot be guided by ordinary temporality, but only by graces temporality, that directs every single instant to the central point: the sacrifice of Christ. Because of that, men only have hope of salvation as long as they integrate Christ's holy Body that continues in sacrifice since the beginning until the end of Time.
