The Lives of the Saints - A Living Dogmatics
The Lives of the Saints - A Living Dogmatics

Summary/Abstract: In this study I tried to present some defi ning elements of the way in which dogmas are assumed and embodied in the Lives of the Saints, each saint becoming for us a model within the Model and, implicitly, a living Dogmatics. In the Lives of the Saints, the defi ning elements present in Dogmatics are part of the naturalness of life which is shown to be a “dogmatic life” beyond concepts, integrated in the Model as a living and all-encompassing dogma discovered in Jesus Christ. Thus, from the models of the saints in the Scriptures, relevant to every Christian, we have shown that there is a distinct but inseparable Model - the Trinity and the Duality, as fundamental dogmas of life and perfection. Salvation is not achieved by refl ecting from afar on the Model, but by confi guring ourselves ontologically-personally into the sanctity of the Model life.
