Misterium człowieka stworzonego

Abstract

New Age as the cultural-religious current constitutes a challenge for the basic category of Christian autropology of „new man” in Christ. Is there a possibility for a new synthesis of faith and reason, spirit and body, autonomy and theonomy in the mistery o f man created in God’s image? The author seeks to answer the above question first of all by means of an analysis o f the principal confidence as an essential element of human subjectivity, as well as on the basis of solitude as an existential form of self-consciousness and self-determination. Solitude opens man to the Absolute, what is called in the Bible creation in the image o f God. Man was created for a dialogue with God. It is in Jesus Christ that the essence o f man is clarified, when God, of His nature invisible, reveals Himself to people. Jesus’ love to the end” builds up human personality through faith, hope and love. That is why Christ’s fulfilment o f God’s image in man responds to the basic confidence from the anthropological definition. It is put into practice in believing God who is Love and guarantees, as the Creator and Salvator, the fulfilment of human hope.
