Sažetak
The author shows the theological path of T. J. Šagi-Bunić through three phases in which she points out the topic of unification of God and the human being as the common thread. In the first chapter she deals with the first phase of Šagi-Bunić’s theological path in which he was interested in Christological issues of the first five centuries of the Church. During that phase Šagi-Bunić was studying the development of the teaching on unification of the divine and the human nature in Jesus Christ, Logos who became a human being. The author shows Šagi Bunić’s path from his student days and doctoral dissertation, through the next fifteen year period in which he deepened his though on those issues he addressed in his dissertation, all the way to his final results published in Rome in Latin language, on the basis of which he was recognised by the worldwide theological public as one of the best experts in Chalcedonian dogmatic definition to whose understanding he contributed with his original insights. The second chapter discusses the second phase of Šagi-Bunić’s theological path during which he started to reflect on the object of his previous research from the perspective of the Second Vatican Council’s emphasis on Jesus Christ, glorified and alive today. In that light, he has enriched the fundamental truths of the Chalcedonian dogma with a discourse on personal unification of one divine person with multitude of human persons that is, primarily, happening in the Church, the community that Jesus Christ, who, as the focal point, continuously gathers in communion with God. Already during this phase Šagi-Bunić reached an insight that it is possible to talk about personal unification of the Son of God with every human being, and not only with members of the perceivable Church. However, this universal Christology characterises most profoundly the final phase of his theological path, marked by his summons to promote the civilisation of love. This is the topic of the third chapter of this article, in which the author analyses Šagi-Bunić’s interpretation of Mt 25:40 as the key and the basic starting point of realisation of the civilisation of love. From this verse Šagi-Bunić firstly reads the truth on unification and identification of the Son of God with every human being and from there he proceeds to point out the call directed to Christians: to see Jesus Christ in every human being, to relate to everyone as if one would be relating to Christ and to be Christ to everyone.
