In this volume, Stanley Grenz creatively extends the insights of
contemporary Trinitarian thought to theological anthropology. "The
Social God and the Relational Self" is an example of theological
construction as an ongoing conversation involving biblical texts,
the theological heritage of the Christian tradition, and the
contemporary historical/social context.
Grenz develops a communal understanding of the "imago dei" in
the face of the demise of the centered self. He delineates the
biblical/theological foundation for a new social conception of the
divine image and reformulates an understanding of the self in a
postmodern context, a context characterized by the loss of the self
coupled with the quest for relationality in community. Grenz
concludes by identifying the basis of the Trinitarian theological
foundation for Christian anthropology and opens the door for the
examination of other anthropological questions to be considered in
light of the postmodern condition.
