This overview of Christian anthropology by Hans Schwarz uniquely
emphasizes three things: (1) the biblical testimony, (2) the
historical unfolding of Christian anthropology through the
centuries, and (3) the present affirmation of Christian
anthropology in view of rival options and current scientific
evidence. Schwarz begins by elucidating the special place occupied
by human beings in the world, then ponders the complex issue of
human freedom, and concludes by investigating humanity as a
community of men and women in this world and in the world beyond.
While maintaining a strong biblical orientation, Schwarz draws on a
wide range of resources, including philosophy and the natural
sciences, in order to map out what it means to be human. Schwarz's
Human Being will interest anyone who is concerned with how in the
face of fascinating scientific insights we can intelligently talk
today about human sinfulness, human freedom, and human beings as
children of the God who created us.
