Course Content (Syllabus)
"(...) the appreciation of eros has a Christological basis, and it is this basis that makes possible a hypostatic, otherwise truly anthropology, that moves from guilt and shame to the exoneration and sanctification offered by the incarnation, the Cross and the Resurrection" (Chr. Stamoulis, Eros and death, Armos, Athens 2019, p.172) What is God's risk and what is his relationship with the creation, the love and the contemporary science? A question that will be answered through examples of culture (music, literature, sculpture, painting, photography) and with reference to the culture par excellence, the culture of incarnation.
