Summary/Abstract: Stefan Tsankov puts human life in the dynamic evangelical contextualization of the Way from Jericho to Jerusalem. The starting point is Jericho because of the Fall. In this way man encounters sin, which "is not an essence but a personal negation of the essence." For Tsankov sin is not an integral part, but a lack of human nature, and therefore the author is categorical that Adam was able not to sin because he sinned by will, not by nature.For Tsankov love is the heart of knowing God and deity. It is inadmissible for him not to think of God in the first place as about a loving God. Love is the main method of knowing God, and reaching the goal - Jerusalem. Tsankov places the holy sacrament anthropology in the context of Christology and Deity.
