This volume offers a robust theological investigation of the
concept of the person. Philip Rolnick calls us to think about
personhood not just psychologically ? understanding it as a set of
traits or behaviors or as a level of social adroitness ? but
theologically. He believes that person represents our highest
understanding of our lives with regard to each other, the world,
and God. Some understanding of person underlies virtually every
significant Christian doctrine and points to what is most at stake
in it.
A philosophically astute, historically informed, scientifically
minded theologian, Rolnick here highlights the centrality of person
for Christian thought by tracing its development from pre-Christian
anticipations through the early church councils to Augustine,
Boethius, Richard of St. Victor, and Aquinas. Examining
contemporary challenges to the concept of the person from
evolutionary biology and postmodern thought, Rolnick demonstrates
the impressive accomplishment of neo-Darwinian research and then
shows ways to interpret the biological data that are consonant with
Jesus' love commands.
Rolnick's Person, Grace, and God is a wide-ranging, deeply
informed study of a topic of no small importance in a world in
which science, postmodern thought, and Christian theology
continuously engage each other.
