Man and Cosmos from the Christian Theology perspective
Man and Cosmos from the Christian Theology perspective

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to analyse the theological reflection on therelationship between man and cosmos. The origin of the world and man isconnected to God; God is the Creator and consequently the Author of themboth. Unlike dualistic materialistic thinking, according to the Christianconception the whole cosmos is created by God. In search for the cosmos animportant chapter was granted for man, considered to be a synthesis of theworld. Man, from the theological perspective, is the personal, rational, free,and speaking being that has – through the image of God according to which hehas been created –, the tension after perfection. But it pertains exclusively tothe relationship with Christ in the light of Whom he really knows himself, andby knowing himself he recognizes the infinite beauty of the Archetype. This isthe existential-theological truth, which the content of this paper emphasizes,according to the Bible and patristic teaching.
