Summary/Abstract: This study analyzes Fr. Georges Florovsky’s theology of personhood as a hermeneutical key to the Divine Economy, with special attention to Creation, the Fall, Redemption, the Incarnation, and Mariology. It argues that the person, created as an energy of love and “more than existence,” is distorted by evil understood as depersonalized personal activity. Salvation, therefore, entails the re-personalization of human nature through the Hypostatic Love of Christ, binding the theology of will to the theology of love. Mariology emerges as an anthropology of holiness and catholicity, where the Virgin Mary’s free assent conditions the Incarnation. The hypostatic entry of the eternal Son into human life restores the God-imaged personal reality, establishing personhood as a central framework for understanding the events of salvation history.
