Annotation -

The subject presents – together with the courses of Theological antropology and Eschatology- a triptych in which is discovered the relation between God and creation in Jesus Christ, who is „the First and the Last - ho protos kai ho eschatos" (Rev 1,17). In this case the focus is given to the way in which through the act of „creation“in Christ God relates to „the world visible and invisible“ (Col 1,16): creation, cosmology, angelology, demonology.
