Description
Book SynopsisGuides the reader through challenging issues that face those attempting to deal with the subject of theological anthropology. This book addresses the complexities surrounding such questions as: What does it mean to be made in the image of God? What does it mean to be a 'person'? And, what constitutes a human person?
Trade ReviewThe study of theological anthropology raises notoriously difficult issues. In this very well-informed book, Marc Cortez addresses some of the toughest of these issues, and he does so in a way that is not only clear-headed and insightful but also scrupulously fair and gracious. Without trying to 'solve' all difficulties, he lays out the options, evaluates relative strengths and weaknesses, and points the way forward. -- Thomas McCall, Associate Professor of Biblical and Systematic Theology
'Cortez provides an accessible, broad and penetrating inttroduction to several key ideas in the area of theological anthropology. Continuing the emphasis of the 'Guide for the Perplexed' series, Cortez chooses four pillars around which to construct his introduction to what it means to be human: imago dei, sexuality, mind and body and free will.' - Kyle Strobel, University of Aberdeen -- Kyle Strobel * Theological Book Review *
