Abstract

The doctrine of incarnation is no longer a new topic of discussion. Incarnation has been a never-ending discussion in the history of Christianity because it is closely related to God, who is worshiped and glorified. This article examines this incarnation based on Hilarion Alfeyef's understanding. The method used in writing is based on a literature method from the book "Orthodox Christianity" by Hilarion Alfeyev. This writing was also supported by church fathers, books, and theological journals related to the discussion. Alfeyev emphasizes that the incarnation of the Word of God is an act of God's love in repairing and restoring human nature that has been damaged. Other scholars claim that God became incarnate in punishing human sin. However, this is behind this statement. Alfeyev found God's act of love to be the main reason for the incarnation, not human sin. Therefore, the carnation is an integral part of human life. The results of this article found that God's act of love made man back into his image and likeness through restoration in the Incarnation of the Word of God.

Abstract

This article explores the anthropological thought of St. Gregory of Nyssa regarding humanity as the pinnacle of God's creation. The study employs a qualitative approach with a literature review method, focusing on an analysis of quotations from the works of St. Gregory as well as references to patristic sources such as the writings of St. Maximus the Confessor. The aim is to uncover the early Church's theological understanding of human nature, dignity, and its role in the economy of salvation. The findings indicate that, according to Gregory, humans were created in the image and likeness of God as spiritual, free, and rational beings. The fall did not erase human dignity but positioned humanity as the subject of restoration through the incarnation of Christ. In the salvific work, the incarnation becomes a pivotal moment of restoring human nature toward divine perfection. Ultimately, St. Gregory affirms that universal restoration (apokatastasis) is the fulfillment of God's plan, in which all creation is restored to eternal communion with Him. This study offers significant contributions to the development of Christian anthropology in the context of contemporary education and spirituality

Abstract

This research explores the importance of prayer in human life as a path to inner purity and a closer relationship with God. By aiming the prayer as an important life practice to open the path of reconciliation between man and God, the researcher uses a literature research method that examined the writings of the Syrian Fathers as a reference. The author synthesizes the book "The Syriac Fathers on Prayer and Spiritual Life" by Sebastian Brock as a theoretical foundation in discussing prayer life. In this article, the author elaborates on the thoughts of the Syrian Fathers to deepen the understanding of prayer life. A pleasing prayer life is one that unites thoughts, feelings, and desires to be directed towards Christ. To reach this level, there needs to be a deep and silent experience of prayer, where all aspects of human existence: body, soul and spirit can be united. Through this process, man can experience deep repentance, where a broken and tearful heart can be renewed and purified by the divine presence.

Abstract

This article examines the biblical and Philokalian approach to renewing and protecting the nous or intellect (Romans 12:2; 1 Corinthians 2:17), proposing that prayer and nepsis (vigilance) are essential strategies for mitigating the influence of logismoi and passions. Analysis reveals that these practices are vital in cultivating authentic Christian spirituality. The Philokalia invites a reevaluation of spiritual perspectives, offering a novel framework that integrates an investigative tool, therapeutic technique, and theoretical insights into the human mind. This study highlights how these ancient practices can be adapted to modern psychotherapeutic interventions, providing a transformative approach to revitalizing our nous faculties. The findings underscore the relevance of the Philokalia in contemporary spiritual and psychological contexts, introducing innovative methods for addressing spiritual and emotional challenges in today's world. This article aims to bridge ancient spiritual wisdom with contemporary therapeutic practices, offering new insights and practical applications for enhancing mental and spiritual well-being.
