Concept Of Man (1963)

The film discusses the contrasting concepts of man from Christian and Communist perspectives. It presents a debate where a Christian asserts that man is a spiritual being created in God’s image, while a Communist argues that man is merely a physical being without a spirit. The discussion highlights the belief that man can be shaped by external influences, such as education and environment, according to Communist ideology, while Christianity emphasizes the inherent spiritual nature of man and the need for redemption through Jesus Christ. Both perspectives agree on a historical fall from an ideal state but diverge on the means of salvation, with Communism advocating for revolution and the abolition of private property, while Christianity focuses on internal transformation through faith.
