Christian Anthropology

It may seem bold and it probably is, but it is not, as I believe, beyond the bounds of the proper, the finding that, in its historical course, Christianity, both in the East and in the West, under the influence of a late and peculiar Gnosticism, the spearhead of that dangerous to the Christian faith and life ascetic tradition, which began with the philosophers and through the ascetic movements of Hellenistic Judaism and the New Testament came to meet with the works on virginity of the third and fourth centuries, almost never accepted man as he is He believed and continues to believe today in most cases, that man is what is minus his nature, a body and a soul imprisoned "in the ideology of ancestral sin." That is why he was consumed, within the limits of his anthropology, accountable forever and ever in the mystery of the incarnation and in the Council of Chalcedon, in the search, why not, and in the creation of another man, a man who is certainly not the man who created the love and charity of God, that only power that makes the creation true and constantly and always expands its existence here and now in the end, in the place and way of godliness.In the way Christ revealed history and the Gospels. The beautiful expression of the holy sensitivity towards the tragic and the problems of the world. In this lesson, an attempt will be made to structure forgotten elements of a creative tradition and to demonstrate the other side of Christian anthropology, in which the whole man flourishes, with all its constituent and therefore natural elements, such as the spirit, the mind, imagination, body, senses and eroticism. The project will be based on the cultural monuments of Christian theology, ie the Bible, the texts of the Church Fathers, the Minutes of the Ecumenical Councils, but also on any source of living tradition that works extensively for the body of Christian theology, which it can only always develop in dialogue.The project will be based on the cultural monuments of Christian theology, ie the Bible, the texts of the Church Fathers, the Minutes of the Ecumenical Councils, but also on any source of living tradition that works extensively for the body of Christian theology, which it can only always develop in dialogue.
