The Value of Life in Christian Anthropology

Keywords: Life, Anthropology, Church, Ecology

Abstract

The objective of the article is to reflect on the value of life from the perspective of Christian Anthropology, for which some texts from the Church's magisterium have been selected. Christian Anthropology interprets life as a consequence of God's plan in favor of the full realization of the human person. In the God-man relationship lies the dignity of the latter and life as a divine gift acquires relevance. This vision of man associated with the transcendent is an opportunity to promote the culture of life, as a path that leads to the recognition of the dignity of the human person and the claim of the ecological balance of the planet.
