Anthropology: Human Being within the Mystery

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

In the context of the contemporary world, this unit seeks to develop an understanding of the biblical view of humanity as created and in a relationship to God, a relationship that is broken by sin/alienation and renewed through the person and work of Christ. It explores such issues as the creation of human beings in the image of God, nature and grace, the significance of Jesus Christ as the New Adam. It will also consider the mutual implications of a Christian anthropology and the findings of the human and social sciences as these bear upon such contemporary questions as humankind's relationship to political life, to the environment, and the equality of the sexes.
