The book explores the relationship between Christology and
theological anthropology through the lens provided by the theology
of Karl Barth and the mind/body discussion in contemporary
philosophy of mind. It thus comprises two major sections. The first
develops an understanding of Karl Barth's theological anthropology
focusing on three major facets: the centrality of Jesus Christ for
any real understanding of human persons; the resources that such a
christologically determined view of human nature has for engaging
in interdisciplinary discourse; and the ontological implications of
this approach for understanding the mind/body relationship.The
second part draws on this theological foundation to consider the
implications that Christological anthropology has for analyzing and
assessing several prominent ways of explaining the mind/body
relationship.Specifically, it interacts with two broad categories
of theories: 'nonreductive' forms of physicalism and 'holistic'
forms of dualism. After providing a basic summary of each, the book
applies the insights gained from Barth's anthropology to ascertain
the extent to which the two approaches may be considered
christologically adequate." T&T Clark Studies in Systematic
Theology" is a series of high profile monographs in the field of
Christian doctrine, with a particular focus on constructive
engagement with topics in systematic theology through historical
analysis or contemporary restatement.
