This is a theological reading of the House M.D. serial, using the main character as an esthetic figure which symbolizes the human existential status of current times and the narratives of the production as contemporary existential mythologies. Disenchantment is affirmed as a theological possibility of re-signifying the human identity based on the discussion about the human condition, the faith experiences pictured in the serial and the perspective of the recovery of existential meaning faced with the reality of death. In the first chapter the serial and its characters are presented, emphasizing the protagonist, Gregory House. In the second chapter a theological referential framework is elaborated based on certain points of the intellectual production of Paul Tillich and Jürgen Moltmann. In the third chapter the human condition is discussed emphasizing the experience of otherness as an overcoming of deontological ethics. In the fourth chapter the religious dimension is emphasized as an opening to an absolute horizon of re-signification of life. In the fifth chapter, through a narrative analysis of the final episode of the serial, the experience of dying is presented as a final disenchantment and a possibility of meaning for life´s end.
