Description du livre
This book explores the idea of order and meaning of events in human life as it emerged in Ancient Greek thought and developed within early Christian theology. In Greek philosophy, especially among the Stoics, the concept of cosmic order culminated in the notion of Providence, understood as the universal law governing the cosmos. While absent from the Bible, the idea of Providence was adopted by Christian authors, who transformed it into the expression of God's personal care for both the individual and the Church. In this perspective, Providence is revealed above all in the economy of salvation, reaching its climax in the Incarnation, the Cross, and the Resurrection of Christ. Thus, the impersonal notion of cosmic order was reshaped into a vision of divine love and care directed toward human salvation.
