Familia creștină în context contemporan

Abstract

The study focuses on the essential themes of biblical anthropology, as they are present in scriptural revelation. The text aims to define the character and fundamental features of the Christian family, both in the light of the Old and New Testaments. The frameworks of a biblical theology of the Christian family are suggested/outlined, focusing on the New Testament revelation. The pedagogical considerations regarding the family are inspired by the biblical images and examples, both positive and negative, that we find in the pages of the Holy Scriptures, but especially, by the evangelical words of the Lord, respectively, by the Pauline injunctions on this subject. The presentation attempts to outline the strengths of the biblical paradigm and to highlight how the Christian ethos could benefit from the close reading of the passages highlighted in this study.
