El gran enigma que es el ser humano para sí­ mismo se ilumina con la figura de Jesús

Abstract

Alberto Simons is the Instituto Fe y Cultura director at Antonio Ruiz de Montoya University, principal professor of Philosophical Anthropology and «Jesus and religion» at the same university and principal professor of Theology at Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. A. Simons has done a lot of research on philosophy, theology, religion and culture. He has recently published HUMAN BEING. Essay on Christological Anthropology (Ser humano. Ensayo de Antropologí­a Cristológica) (Fondo Editorial PUCP-Fondo Editorial UARM), volume addressed to a wide range of people, even to those who don”™t share the Christian faith but are in search of a more humanistic world.

In this interview, Simons talks about Jesus as a reply to the man”™s mystery and guides us to the recognition of the profundity and importance of Jesus”™ extraordinary personality. Love that is lived and given by Jesus without distinction of any kind has moved people”™s reason and will, especially of those who were related with him. In this sense, it is known what is to be fully human through Jesus. Simons also remarks the fact that our life offaith would not consist in imitating Jesus, but living in this dimension in the domain and context in which we are involved through the continuation of his way of living. Intelligence, liberty and human affection, solidarity and hope are other issues that are explained in this conversation.
