Theological anthropology is being put to the test: in the face of
contemporary developments in the spheres of culture, politics, and
science, traditional perspectives on the human person are no longer
adequate. Yet can theological anthropology move beyond its
previously established categories and renew itself in relation to
contemporary insights? The present collection of essays sets out to
answer this question. Uniting Roman Catholic theologians from
across the globe, it tackles from a theological perspective
challenges related to the classical natural law tradition (part 1),
to the modern conception of the subject (part 2), and to the
postmodern awareness of diversity in a globalizing context (part
3). Its contributors share a fundamental methodological choice of a
critical-constructive dialogue with contemporary culture, science,
and philosophy. This collection integrates a wider range of
approaches than one usually finds in theological volumes, bringing
together experts in systematic theology and in theological ethics.
Authors come from different American contexts, including Black and
Latino, and from a European context that include both French and
German. Moreover, the interdisciplinary insights upon which the
different contributions draw stem from both the natural sciences
(such as neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and ethology) and the
humanities (such as cultural studies, philosophy, and
hermeneutics). This volume will be essential reading for anyone
seeking a state-of-the-art account of theological anthropology, of
the uncertainties it is facing, and of the responses it is in the
process of formulating. The shared Roman Catholic background of the
authors of this collection makes this volume a helpful complement
to recent publications that predominantly represent views from
other theological traditions.
