László Vanyó: The Patristic Interpretation of 'Redemptio'

THE PATRISTIC INTERPRETATION OF ‘REDEMPTIO’ 39 quence of sin, the death, as He entered into the world of sin and corrup­tion, because corruption and death are themselves sin.49 Saint Gregory of Nazianzus defines the reason of incarnation that the humanity needed redemption because the pedagogic means used by God up till then were not sufficient, men needed a greater help.50 Christ assumed body, soul and spirit (intellect) because they were also do- mained by sin.51 52 But the reason of salvation is the crucufixion and resur­c'y rection of Christ the condition of which is the incarnation. What was touched by the divinity, that was sanctified.53 As regards the ransom Gregory asks whom did God pay it?54 The supposition that God would have entered negotiations whith Satan is wholly rejected, but he consid­ers also impossible that Christ had payed a ransome to the Father, be­cause His sacrifice was the realization of the will of the Father.55 The “trick-theory”, so resolutely criticised and rejected by St. Gre­gory of Nazinazus, was minutely exposed by St. Gregory of Nyssa.56 49 Or.
