Despre heliologie şi iconomia mântuirii
On Heliology and Provision of Redemption

Summary/Abstract: The current article investigates the multiple aspects related to the representations of the solar deity of justice in the Christian, Jewish and pagan settings throughout the Graeco-Roman world in Antiquity, as well as the associated symbols such as the vine cuttings, dawn, light, East, day, wisdom, power, fire, etc. We relied not only on the study of the Biblical text, pseudoepigrapha and apocrypha, but also on the works of the church writers, to begin with Justin the Martyr and finish with John of Damascus, while insisting mostly on the contribution of Clemens of Alexandria.
