The Freedom of God in the Mystery of the Incarnation of the Word in Athanasius of Alexandria: Christological Titles and Trinitarian Revelation.
God, in his freedom and in his love for men, according to Saint Athanasius of Alexandria (298-373), decided to come to meet man created in his “image and likeness” (Gen. 1.26-27) in order to deify him. Man’s sin is an accident in human history which does not prevent God from carrying out his project of divinizing man. For this, it was necessary for God to become man, so that man could become God (Athanasius of Alexandria, De Incarnatione Verbi, nr. 54). No one can put limits on the freedom of God who, in Jesus Christ, became close to man, made one of us in everything, except sin (Heb 4:15). In this communication we will present the Christological titles of the Incarnate Word such as the Alexandrian Patriarch finds them argued in the Holy Scriptures and which reveal of both: his divinity and his humanity, for the salvation of man.
