Abstract

Agreeing with the words of Vladeta Jerotić that the sphere of religiosity when it comes to human life is the finest, deepest, and most sensitive among all others, the author will try to show, using the example of Health, that the constant presence of God's spirit in man (neshamah in Judaism, in the "nose" - (and in our language we say no-zdr(a)-va) when he became a man by God's request) according to Judeo-Christian belief, constitutive of both human freedom and love, i.e. freedo(m)love.

The research will therefore try to offer a kind of introduction to the Judeo-Christian eschatology of Health, which began its linear cycle back in the Garden of Eden, before the original sin, after which the fall into Illness occurred and only with the appearance of Christ it began to rise again towards the ideal of primordial Health.

With that, Waldenfels' (somewhat ironic) thesis that the head of the church or the church itself "takes care of the general mental health" of everyone else (others) will be examined in a methodoontological key
