Abstract

God's image and likeness are one of the main themes of Christian anthropology. Holy Fathers perceive humans as an integrated personality with particular characteristics that are inherent only to man. Holy Fathers literature is based on the biblical creation of man and the uptake through the God and man Jesus Christ in the New Testament. Only by understanding of the correct meaning of man's creation is possible to understand the human and closer to the understanding of God himself.
