Zarys antropologii Kościoła greckiego

The lecture deals with the peculiarity of the anthropology of Eastern Christians, which in broad outline is already present in the writings of many Greek Fathers. It consists especially in considering state of divine grace as divinisation (théôsis) of man. Its other distinctive features are real diff erence between image and likeness of God and threefold composition of man, according to Platonic expression of saint Paul: „your spirit and soul and body” (1 Thess 5, 23). Because Greek anthropology basicly agrees with Latine doctrine and in the new orthodox theology it obtains more and more attention, it seems that exchange of ideas in this field between Western and Eastern theologians is advisable, also in order to facilitate their dialogue on the main subjects.
