Abstract
The paper explores the utopian moment at the core of Christianity as a world historical religion and its soteriological doctrines. It analyses the salvational doctrines of Christianity in terms of their transformation with the institutionalization of the Church and the emergence of utopian and millennial responses to this institutionalization. The growth of heterodoxies and alternative models of achieving salvation (both within and beyond the orders of the Church) are analysed in terms of the different articulation of millennial alternatives. Finally, a brief excursus on Teologia de la Liberacion attempts to place this movement within the broader scheme of utopian alternatives developed within the Christian tradition.
