Guides the reader through challenging issues that face those attempting to deal with the subject of theological anthropology. This book addresses the complexities surrounding such questions as: What does it mean to be made in the image of God? What does it mean to be a 'person'? And, what constitutes a human person?
Cortez provides an accessible, broad and penetrating inttroduction to several key ideas in the area of theological anthropology. Continuing the emphasis of the 'Guide for the Perplexed' series, Cortez chooses four pillars around which to construct his introduction to what it means to be human: imago dei, sexuality, mind and body and free will.
