Its basis is Christocentric theocentrism. The whole approach is embedded in ecclesiology. The question of who a man is and how to be a man must be directed to God. His answer, which is heard in the Church, is Jesus Christ. The Body of Christ is the space of the communion between God and man. Thus, Christ is God’s tool for the transformation of human existence – its liberation and fulfillment. Man is not an independent being. He comes from God. He exists because he is loved. Being created in God’s image determines the relational - dialogical - nature of his being. A scratch on God’s work is made by sin which undermines the truth about creation. Asking about who he is, man should turn his eyes to God’s perfect image, Jesus who is both God and man. The categories of sonship, childhood and pro-existence are characteristic here. All this is available by entering into the existence of the Son of God, which is done through baptism in the Church. There, man can realize his relational existence. The liturgy, however, provides us with the access to our eschatological destiny.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Main features of Joseph Ratzinger’s/Benedict XVI’s anthropology}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/119345/PDF-MASTER/10_Grzywocz.pdf}, doi={10.31743/snt.7944}, keywords={anthropology, Christology, ecclessiology, epistemology, liturgy, Eucharist}, }
