Resumen:
This article explores the relationship between anthropology and Christology in the thought of Gregory of Nyssa. On the basis of some texts of De hominis opificio, the correlation between the anthropological paradox and the Christological paradox is analyzed. The answer to the question, how can the human being, enveloped in evil, be the image of the one who has no relationship with evil, is given by the conspiracy of opposites in Christ: life comes through death and glory through the dishonor of the cross.
