Abstract

From a biblical approach, it is intended to propose some theological and anthropological reflections on the question of the human condition defined as the kind creation of God, thus demolishing the false understanding that the body, and all humanity, is contrary to God to Platonic mode. Humanity, a project loved by God, allows the unique human being to relate to himself, but also to other humans, to history, to creation and to his Creator, of whom his image is first and foremost. This multirelational nature of the human being is propitiated by the Creator God himself who is constantly related to the human being, who acts in history and who has created an ecological space in which the human creature experiences the aforementioned connections.
