Summary/Abstract: In his Epistle to Romans and in the First Epistle to Corinthians Saint Paul makes an antinomian parallel between Adam and Christ, between the first and the second Adam. The same idea is presented by Saint Irenaeus in order to develop the doctrine about everyone’s summarization and restoration in Christ. So being said, there are many similarities between Adam and Christ, between the paths Adam took and the restoration accomplished by the New Adam. This similarities will be identified with the help of The Holy Scriptures and the help of The Fathers of the Church in order to discover the details of the work Christ did for redeeming, restoring and summarizing the first Adam and fulfilling, at the same time, the purpose of Creation, the unification with God.
