Christian Anthropology: Irenaeus 1.General theories of human nature: four components. 2.Christian anthropology: main contours. 3. The problem of evil. 4. Fall of Adam in the NT. 5.St. Irenaeus’ interpretation of human condition.

General theories of human nature 1.What kind of world do we live in? Background believes about the world. 2.Who are we? Background beliefs about human nature. 3.What went wrong? Diagnosis of the problem. 4.How can we make things right? Prescription how to solve the problem. (Adopted from Leslie Stevenson, Seven Theories of Human Nature, with some modifications)

Christian anthropology 1.The world is created by God and depends upon God. 2.We are created in the image and likeness of God. We are not self-made. 3.Problem: sin. Breach in the relationship with God. Disobedience to the will of God. 4.Solution: God in Christ takes the initiative to restore this relationship. Humans return to God through Christ in repentance. Ultimate destiny: heaven or hell.

Beginnings of humanity according to St. Irenaeus of Lyons ORIGINAL STATE. Child-like, imperfect & frail. FIRST TRANSGRESSION. Adam disobeyed God out of thoughtlessness and curiosity. He was deceived by the Devil. CONSEQUENCES. Mortality, weakness of will, proneness to sin. Freedom of will essentially intact. Humans gained in experience of the moral dimension of existence. METHOD OF TRANSMISSION. All human beings were present in Adam.
