Abstract

The article deals with the teaching of st. Justin Popović, called Teohumanism. The teaching is based on the orthodox anthropology and christology, showing the right view on the man and the aim of his life. Based on the hypostasy of Jesus Christ shows the true value of the life which is impossible without relations with God and men. We also try to show the thinking of st. Justin about Church as Body of Christ and the space of salvation.

Keywords

Christology, Teohumanism, God-Man, salvation, anthropology

SUMMARY

The only correct solving of today’s crisis is based on the person of the God-Men Jesus Christ. Not on the false humanism, where the man is the scale of all things. After Man’s fall the unity of God and man was broken, so there was need to restore it. Restoration came with the Incarnation of God-Men Jesus Christ. Only throught the personality of Jesus Christ and throught the Church as His Body is possible to renew the unity of the God and men. This can be done only by understanding of man as creation, based on relations, real relations of God and man.
