From a theological viewpoint, this book explores the junction
between the philosophical existential idea of the authentic self
and its cultural appropriation. The text builds on the theology of
John Macquarrie and the narrative formation of identity to
construct a theological definition of authentic selfhood. It then
contrasts this definition with the common idea that authenticity,
in the moral sense, can be used to justify any action. The author
argues that this is not genuine authenticity. Instead, they
consider that authenticity rests upon loyalty to something greater
than oneself, and for Christians this is the character of the God
in whose image they are created and are being formed. This book is
illuminating reading for students and scholars of theological
anthropology, pastroral theology, ethics and moral philosophy.
