Opis

Theological anthropology has come to be of vital interest to Christian feminists. As in other disciplines, the study of what is "human" tends to either ignore gender or to favor one as normative. In the quest to understand the totality of human experience it is necessary to view it from lived experience. At the same time and deeply embedded in the Christian tradition is the recognition that human beings come from God, are going to God, and dwell in the embrace of God. In the Embrace of God provides a well-organized, clearly focused volume of original essays by North American feminist theologians encompassing the major areas of theological anthropology. In addressing the meaning of creation and endtime, fall and redemption, sin and grace, pain and suffering, sexuality and ecology, these contributors offer fresh insights and helpful new ways to approach the rich complexities of human experience.
