THE MAN, IMAGE OF THE IMAGE, RATIONALITY AND WISDOM

Summary/Abstract: Man occupies the most important place in the creative act, being created by God out of love, in particular, and being different from all created beings. The Creator offers him "through the breath of life" (Genesis 2, 7) the rational soul characterized by wisdom, these two attributes being of divine origin. Therefore, the dignity that man enjoys is a special one that comes from God that gives the crown of creation divine attributes, such as reason and wisdom, attributes that define the "Image of God" offered to man through creation. Does accepting sin distorts human nature so rationality and wisdom to become tools of evil? Falling into sin has darkened the face of God in man, and the stability that man chooses in sin can offer only ephemeral pleasure without any foundation. That is why it is imperative to present the human being, his initial value and his role in creation, precisely in order to sensitize the reader in understanding the value of the first, so that each one can establish his own value in the state after sin.
