Reforming Theological Anthropology: After the Philosophical Turn to Relationality

Approving of Calvin's formation of the necessary reciprocity between knowledge of the human self and knowledge of God, Shults (theology, Bethel Seminary, St. Paul, Minnesota) argues that theological investigations into the nature of the human ("theological anthropology") has paid to little attention to social, cultural, and physical dimensions. Theological anthropology needs to reclaim the "relationality" of this investigation in dialogue with other human sciences. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
