As finite humans, we are dependent, limited, situated, and
vulnerable, and our understanding of ourselves and the world is
constantly facing boundaries and restrictions. This book explores
how finitude's different dimensions, and its ambiguities, may be
understood within the framework of Christian theological
anthropology. This study inverstigates different understandings of
finitude's role in human life, and argues why these may benefit
theological anthropology. An analysis and discussion of recent
contributions and the possible relations between them not only help
us to gain a richer picture of finitude's impact on human life, but
may also contribute to a deeper understanding of the
anthropological dimensions of religion. A further outcome of the
analysis is that we are then able to define more clearly on what
terms there is, from a phenomenological point of view, a possible
relation between common human experience of finitude and the
understanding of the world present in religion.
