Abstract

This paper examines some theological reinterpretations of the dogma on the fall and the original condition of man before sin and formulates a proposal that, in accordance with St. Thomas Aquinas’ view, sees in man’s originally holy relationship (original holiness) with God the ‘context’ for the exercise of God’s providential and paternal care for man, which would have protected him from natural evils. It is then shown that the ‘physical-bodily normality’ of the progenitors in such a relational context accords well with both the current scientific understanding of the world and the fundamental theological reasons of dogma.

堕落前的人类状况:人是神父性和天意关怀的对象

本文考察了对堕落和人在犯罪前的原始状态的教义的一些神学重新解释，并根据圣托马斯·阿奎那的观点，提出了一个建议，即在人与上帝的原始神圣关系(原始神圣)中看到上帝对人的护理和父爱的“背景”，这将保护他免受自然的邪恶。然后表明，在这种关系背景下，祖先的“身体-身体正常”与当前对世界的科学理解和教条的基本神学原因都非常吻合。

期刊介绍： "Scientia et Fides" (SetF) is an open access online journal published twice a year. It is promoted by the Faculty of Theology of Nicolaus Copernicus University, in Torun, in collaboration with the Group of Research “Science, Reason and Faith” (CRYF), at the University of Navarra. The journal is characterised by the interdisciplinary approach, multiplicity of research perspectives and broad reflection on methodology as well as analysis of the latest publications on the relationship between science and faith. The tasks of the journal are perfectly expressed by the motto "Veritas in omnibus quaerenda est" ("to seek the truth in all things") from "De revolutionibus" by Nicolaus Copernicus. SetF aims to present rigorous research works regarding different aspects of the relationship between science and religion. For this reason, SetF articles are not confined to the methodology of a single discipline and may cover a wide range of topics, provided that the interdisciplinary dialogue between science and religion is undertaken. The journal accepts articles written in English, Spanish, Polish, French, Italian and German which will be evaluated by a peer-review process.
