دراسة نقدية حول أنثروبولوجيا القديس بولس

Abstract EN

This article provides an analytical and critical review of Paul's anthropology.

Understanding Paul's theology depends on understanding Paul's anthropology.

The essence of his theology is the influence of revelation and the abundance of God's "grace" on man.

Paul looks human existence as having three arenes which are the body, the spirit and the soul.

Each section has two domains: 1.

body and the corpse, 2.

The mind the heart 3.

The spirit and soul.

He sees that human has two ways for living: in harmony with God and with the pre-Christ era.

As for his view of the human being, it is his interpretation of himself in three cases: creation, dicline and salvation.

On the state of creation it must be said: God created man in his own image and in contact with him.

But before descending, Adam committed a sin with his own free will and found himself in an inappropriate position, and he transferred his sin to his children after him, and the result was death, and contamination of human will with sin.

Salvation is possible, but only by the grace and abundance of God.

Salvation is a free gift from God, that is obtained through the grace of abundance and faith.

key words: Man, human nature, eternal sin, salvation, Paul.
