PHILANTHRÔPÍA DIVINA COMO MODELO Y FUNDAMENTO DE LA VIDA CRISTIANA APROXIMACIÓN DESDE GREGORIO DE NISA

The central postulate refers to an exercise of recovery of the category of divine philanthropy in Gregory of Nyssa, from which a connection is established with Christian life, as its model and foundation The process starts from an explora-tion of the category in question in Greek philosophy, then, the use given to it in the Judeo-Christian environment, particularly in Philo of Alexandria, Clement of Alexan-dria, Origen of Alexandria and Athanasíus of Alexandria. The exercise of reflection on the connection between divine philanthropy and Christian life can serve as an inspiration to redefine Christian life at the beginning of this century and millennium.
