Huian, Georgiana (2022). The Sin of Adam and Eve and the Restoration of the Image of God through Baptism according to Diadochus of Photike (Submitted). In: Inherited Sin? Forscher aus dem Osten und Westen Europas an den Quellen des gemeinsamen Glaubens. Münster: Tyrolia Verlag
Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)This study identifies four strategies for theologically reframing the story of the sin of Adam and Eve in the work of Diadochus of Photike. The first strategy links the drama of the Fall with a universal phenomenology of temptation, reenacted in every human sin, and offers a spiritual remedy. The second describes the fall from unity into duality, suffered by all human faculties, and pleads for us to return to unity. The third considers the consequences of Adam’s transgression through the lens of the distinction between image and likeness and rereads the story of the proto parents through the theology of Incarnation and grace. The fourth strategy uses plastic imagery, such as painting and sealing, to account for the restoration of the human being affected by the consequences of Adam and Eve’s sin. Studying Diadochus’ vocabulary and arguments through this framework, the essay demonstrates his integration of the notion of ancestral sin into an anthropology which strongly emphasizes Incarnation, pneumatology, and the sacraments, especially baptism.
