T&T Clark Handbook of Theological Anthropology (T&T Clark Handbooks)

"Including classical, modern, and postmodern approaches to theological anthropology, this volume covers the entire spectrum of thought on the doctrines of creation, the human person as imago dei, sin, and grace. The editors have gathered an exceptionally diverse range of voices, ensuring ecumenical balance (Protestant, Roman Catholic and Orthodox) and the inclusion of previously neglected perspectives (women, African American, Asian, Latinx and LGBTQ perspectives). The contributors revisit authors from the "Great Tradition" (early church, medieval, and modern), and discuss them alongside critical and liberationist approaches (ranging from feminist, decolonial, and intersectional theory to critical race theory and queer performance theory). This is a much-needed overview of a rapidly evolving field"-- Provided by publisher Cover Half Title Series Title Copyright Contents Acknowledgments Introduction Part I Methodology Chapter One Classical Approaches to Theological Anthropology (VELI-MATTI KÄRKKÄINEN) Chapter Two Modern Method in Theological Anthropology: (KEVIN M.
