Pascalian in essence, the approach departs from the Augustinian roots of Western Christian theology and develops a Christian anthropology based on Eastern Orthodoxy. The endeavor of a human being to understand oneself does not lead, as in the case of Pascal, to identification with Jesus Christ?s suffering, but further, to an attempt of deification, theosis, in which the main concept is Incarnation. This attempt opens to man the possibility to conceive himself as interior to God. Man becomes therefore the physical and metaphysical bridge between creation and the uncreated, the only creature that bears the image of God. 410 0$aPerspectives on philosophy and religious thought ;$v17. 606 $aDeification (Christianity) 606 $aTheological anthropology 606 $aNegative theology 615 0$aDeification (Christianity) 615 0$aTheological anthropology. 615 0$aNegative theology. 676 $a233 700 $aScrima$b Andre?$f1925-2000,$01638901 702 $aGabor$b Octavian 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826680203321 996 $aApophatic anthropology$93981574 997 $aUNINA
