What does it mean to be fully human, living before God and neighbor even as we are connected to the rest of creation? Questions and possibilities raised in theological anthropology are always stimulating and unendingly relevant. Thankfully, in this new volume readers are invited into this rich conversation, hearing different voices representing ancient wisdom and contemporary concerns. All the key aspects of theological anthropology are touched upon here, providing the context for meaningful reflection and discussion that is sure to follow. I have been waiting for an updated primary source volume on anthropology that covered more than Patristic and medieval sources while still valuing those honored voices – I now finally have that volume in my hands! Students and Professors will be very thankful to Marc Cortez and Michael Jensen for this well-organized and ably presented gift.
