metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This article outlines the key features of the Christian understanding of divine
  providence in comparison with the philosophical trends of Antiquity from the 1st
  to the 3rd centuries (before Neoplatonism). The author identifies three paradigms
  of understanding divine providence in the ancient pagan philosophy of this period
  (atheistic, pantheistic and deistic) and in this context defines the Christian
  paradigm as “dialogical panentheism”. According to the author, Christianity at
  its core offers a worldview, which is uncharacteristic for paganism: the cosmos
  is focused on the implementation of a dialogue between man and God and the
  achievement of existential intimacy between the Creator and creation. It is also
  noted that Christianity, in contrast to ancient thought, placed an emphasis on the
  fact that the fundamental property of the higher Deity is His openness in relation
  to the Other, and not just self-contemplating or self-contained calmness. This, in
  turn, determines two other aspects in the Christian doctrine of providence: the
  all-pervading participation of God in the life of the world and His concern for
  the individual and those who are flawed. The author also says that the Orthodox
  understanding of providence is a harmonious middle between the extremes of
  pantheism and deism.
