Description

The first Anglophone book to apply Herman Bavincks theological anthropology to contemporary theological issues. This book shows that Bavincks account cuts across the current debates between federalism and realism, and structuralist and relational accounts of the human being, offering fresh answers to questions around the body-soul relation, the unity and diversity of race, humanitys end sans the fall, and the beatific vision. The book is carved into two parts: the first part explores the individual self as made in Gods image, and the second discusses humanity as a singular organic whole as the image of God. By applying Bavincks work on the self and God's image to contemporary issues, Sutanto provides the theological backdrop necessary for explorations on gender, non-human animals, eco-theology and technology.
