Man- the image of God in the science of Pope Johan Paul II.

Polazeći od analize Post 1, 26-27 ovaj rad istražuje smisao biblijskog izvještaja o stvaranju čovjeka i njegovo značenje za suvremenu antropološku misao. Teološka antropologija pape Ivana Pavla II. je središte ovog rada. Papa Ivan Pavao II. se istaknuo kao teolog koji je uspješno rehabilitirao biblijsku sintagmu čovjek – slika Božja. Ovu istinu biblijske antropologije Papa stavlja u središte svog nauka. Tumačenje čovjeka izlaže u okviru misterija Presvetog Trojstva i misterija Krista. Na taj način izlaže smisao biblijskih riječi u Post 1, 26-27 u kojima je čovjek shvaćen kao osobno biće kojemu su svojstvene kvalitete jedinstva duše i tijela, racionalnosti i slobode, komunitarne dimenzije te stvaralaštva i prokreacije. Antropologija koja polazi od sintagme čovjek – slika Božja potvrđuje kako izvještaj o stvaranju čovjeka u Post 1, 26-27 predstavlja prvi i posljednji govor o čovjeku. Svaka sljedeća antropologija i govor o čovjeku bit će samo detaljnije tumačenje onoga što nam je Bog na prvim stranicama Biblije već rekao. Teološka antropologija pape Ivana Pavla II. bit će uporište kršćanskoj teologiji i vjernicima Katoličke Crkve u borbi sa izazovima modernog društva. Tehnički napredak i razvoj društva čovjeku možda donosi sredstva jednostavnijeg egzistiranja, no čini nam se kako čovjek s vremenom postaje rob istome. U tome se sastoji paradoks modernog čovjeka koji gubi smisao vlastitog postojanja, a kao jedini odgovor papa Ivan Pavao II. donosi povratak temeljnoj istini – čovjek je slika Božja.Starting from the analysis of Genesis 1, 26-27, this paper discusses the meaning of the biblical account of human creation and its meaning for contemporary anthropological thought. Theological Anthropology of Pope John Paul II. is the central theme of this work. Pope John Paul II. was a theologian who successfully rehabilitated the biblical collocation man - the image of God. The Pope places this truth of biblical anthropology at the center of his teaching. He exposes the interpretation of man within the mysteries of the Holy Trinity and the mysteries of Christ. In this way, he exposes the meaning of the biblical words in Genesis 1, 26-27, to which man is understood as a personal being, characterized by qualities of unity of soul and body, rationality and freedom, communitarian dimensions, and creativity and procreatio The anthropology that starts from the collocation man - the image of God confirms that the report on the creation of man in Genesis 1, 26-27 represents the first and the last speech about man. Any subsequent anthropology and speech about man will only be a more detailed interpretation of what God has already told us in the first pages of the Bible Theological Anthropology of Pope John Paul II. will be a stronghold for Christian theology and for the believers of the Catholic Church while they are facing the challenges of modern society. The technical advancement and development of society may give man a means of simpler existence, but it seems that people become the same over time. This is the paradox of the modern man who loses the meaning of his own existence, and as the only answer Pope John Paul II. brings back the fundamental truth - man is the image of God
