I Padri della Chiesa e la Metafisica: una relazione ineludibile
Church Fathers and Metaphysics: Unavoidable Relationship

Summary/Abstract: Reflections which concern using metaphysics in the teaching of the Church Fathers are highly important, because this relationship is deeply rooted in their exegesis. The relation¬ship was negated specifically by the Reformation, which insisted that biblical language was allegedly replaced by pagan Greek philosophy. In fact, the Church Fathers were not only working on metaphysics itself but also they modified its classical form, producing some kind of new ontology, which is helpful in more precise theological depiction of Tri¬nitarian God. On that basis they had initiated a new interpretation of metaphysics, showing a new perspective in looking at theological issues, such as creation, the mystery of human being, or Mariology.
