ЛИКОВИ СРПСКЕ ЖИТИЈНЕ КЊИЖЕВНОСТИ КАО СВЕДОЧАНСТВО ИСПУЊЕЊА БОЖАНСКОГ ПРОВИЂЕЊА У СВЕТЛУ ЈЕВАНЂЕЉА ПО ЈОВАНУ
CHARACTERS IN SERBIAN HAGIOGRAPHIC LITERATURE AS THE EVIDENCE OF GOD’S DIVINE PROVIDENCE CONSIDERING THE GOSPEL OF JOHN

Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to prove two important theses. One proposition is that nothing in human life, especially in the life of sacred persons, is the matter of haphazard accident. Another assumption is that the lives of hagiographic characters, the creations of divine blessing and providence, represent the fulfilment of God’s divine design. The discussion of these ideas is based on the Gospel of John. The paper analyzes the hagiographic characters, who were predestined to achieve theosis and were thus the incarnation of the transformative process whose aim is the union with God for the betterment of their own people, with the purpose of indicating the possibility for all human beings to achieve deification themselves.
