ON THE UNION BETWEEN GOD AND HUMAN FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF ICON OF CHRIST AND THE GERMAN MYSTICISM

本研究旨在阐明德国道明会士艾克哈特的“神人合一”学说在早期基督教希腊教父的基督教神学传统中的独特性。我们特别的方法是比较埃克哈特的学说与基督论，这是视觉上表达的图标中产生的奉献给耶稣基督谁是定义在东正教教条作为神，人在一个人。我们的圣像学分析进一步澄清了，对这些圣像中所展示的基督道成肉身的理解依赖于强调基督的人性和历史性的正统基督论。这一结果，然后与埃克哈特的理解，旨在重新解释基督的救世作用，扩大这种化身为全人类的可能性。

This research aimed to elucidate how unique the German Dominican Meister Eckhart’s doctrine of “the union between God and human” is within the Christian tradition of theosis originated from Greek Fathers in the early Christianity. Our particular approach was to compare Eckhart’s doctrine with the Christology which is visually expressed in the icons produced in the devotions to Jesus Christ who is defined in the orthodox dogma as God-man in one Person. Our iconographical analysis clarified further that the understanding of Christ’s Incarnation which is exhibited in those icons relies on the orthodox Christology that emphasizes Christ’s humanity and historicity. This result was then contrasted with Eckhart’s understanding of the Incarnation which intends to reinterpret Christ’s soteriological role as expanding the possibility of such Incarnation for all humankind.
