The lecture deals with the peculiarity of the anthropology of Eastern Christians, which in broad outline is already present in the writings of many Greek Fathers. It consists especially in considering state of divine grace as divinisation (théôsis) of man.

Pilate’s words “Behold the man” are a good starting point for the dramatic dispute about the truth of humankind. In no way does beholding the tortured victim elicit compassion; rather it increases the mob’s lust for persecution. Although Jesus’ persecution is akin to the persecution of countless scapegoats throughout human history, his dying is unique. He is in a radical way nonviolent in his dying...
What are the indelible content of any Christian anthropology? And as these days to talk about the content? Abraham J. Heschel did not think that evil is inscribed in human nature and that God is dead. However, he did not think that the world is basically good. He did not think that a man basically directed towards God. Abraham J. Heschel believed that God was banished from the world, a man killed...
Modern dispute about the understanding of culture and nature is rich in tradition and dates back to ancient Greek sophists. However, in the modern era we observe a radicalization of positions. This is caused by superficial understanding of both the nature and culture, what matters is the narrow empiricism or extreme idealism. In addition, there is the absence of a human problem in this dispute, which...
Religious and theological question about the man may come from Divine Revelation. It is impossible to truly answer the question without reff ering to the Creator since He is „creavit Deus” the truth of revelation through the faith of the wise man to the fullness of life. God, who is love and life, created man in His own image and likeness, created man and woman. In the humanity of man and woman God...
A chance of understanding a person thanks to the idea of the human person has appeared in the dialogue between the Christian message and philosophy. As a creation a man has become a dynamic image of God’s openness and relatedness, a huge and ever insatiable thirst for communion. The human person can be deified by grace and attain the fullness of communion with the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit...

He draws on the reflections of the renown 20th century psychologist Albert Görres and cites the works of C.G. Jung.

In modern society Christian social ethics aiming to justify...
The Synod of Bishops in 2014 showed how polarized are the positions in understanding and meaning of the sacramental marriage. In 2015 Holy Father Pope Francis issued new standards for testing the validity of marriages (mainly sacramental). Relevance and effectiveness of new solutions should be examined.

Jesus’s call raising marriage to sacramental dignity points to the inadequacy of the law within the meaning and formation of a special relationship between a man and a woman. On the other hand it does not mean its redundancy. This ratio is considered to be constitutive and results from the creation of man in God’s image and His likeness. This image has not been destroyed even by a human sin that interferes...
