Summary/Abstract: What are the indelible content of any Christian anthropology? And as these days to talk about the content? Abraham J. Heschel did not think that evil is inscribed in human nature and that God is dead. However, he did not think that the world is basically good. He did not think that a man basically directed towards God. Abraham J. Heschel believed that God was banished from the world, a man killed his inner life and lost contact with God. If a man does not reflect the presence of God in the world, it reflects the image of the beast. The task of man is letting God into your world. God speaks to man through the Bible, and the man says to God in prayer. Abraham J. Heschel does not believe that prayer is a conversation with God himself (Clement). God’s answer to prayer is interested in the life of man. Prayer makes God back into the world. Indelible content of Christian anthropology is the belief that man is capable of dialogue with God and that prayer to return God to the world. Modern man does not believe that God is close to him. People can convince the assertion that man in prayer becomes the object of the mind of God.
