Annotation -

During the seminar, two thematic areas of biblical anthropology are discussed, which the basic study text - the document of the Pontifical Biblical Commission, What Is Man? (see bibliography) - defines as: a) Human being created by God, and b) Man in the garden. Selected biblical texts thematize man as God's image, which has its origin and goal in God, and his basic life coordinates, such as food, work and the role of animals in man's life.
