Questions and possibilities raised in theological anthropology are always stimulating and unendingly relevant.  Thankfully, in this new volume readers are invited into this rich conversation, hearing different voices representing ancient wisdom and contemporary concerns.  All the key aspects of theological anthropology are touched upon here, providing the context for meaningful reflection and discussion that is sure to follow.  I have been waiting for an updated primary source volume on anthropology that covered more than Patristic and medieval sources while still valuing those honored voices – I now finally have that volume in my hands!  Students and Professors will be very thankful to Marc Cortez and Michael Jensen for this well-organized and ably presented gift. * KELLY M. KAPIC, COVENANT COLLEGE, USA *\u003cbr\u003eThis anthology is both creative and comprehensive, providing resources on classic themes in theological anthropology while also reimagining the field in fresh ways. The voices are both ancient and contemporary, offering an overview of a long conversation about the nature of the human. An excellent classroom resource. * JAMES K.A. SMITH, CALVIN COLLEGE, USA *\u003cbr\u003eThe Psalmist asked, ‘What are human beings that you are mindful of them?’ This reader provides an excellent collection of judiciously chosen and introduced responses to this and related questions from a variety of patristic, medieval, Reformation, modern, and contemporary theologians. The editors have done well to sub-divided the Psalmist’s question into seven areas, including imago Dei, freedom, sexuality, and personhood as well as a welcome concluding section on worship and desire. The editors have included both the usual suspects (e.g., Augustine, Calvin, Barth) and contemporary voices that engage what the sciences are saying about humanity, making this reader a fine choice for both survey courses and advanced seminars. * Kevin J.
