T&T Clark Handbook of Theological Anthropology Summary

T&T Clark Handbook of Theological Anthropology by Professor Mary Ann Hinsdale (Boston College, USA)

Including classical, modern, and postmodern approaches to theological anthropology, this volume covers the entire spectrum of thought on the doctrines of creation, the human person as imago Dei, sin, and grace. The editors have gathered an exceptionally diverse range of voices, ensuring ecumenical balance (Protestant, Roman Catholic and Orthodox) and the inclusion of previously neglected perspectives (women, African American, Asian, Latinx, and LGBTQ). The contributors revisit authors from the Great Tradition (early church, medieval, and modern), and discuss them alongside critical and liberationist approaches (ranging from feminist, decolonial, and intersectional theory to critical race theory and queer performance theory). This is a much-needed overview of a rapidly evolving field.

T&T Clark Handbook of Theological Anthropology Reviews

If you are looking for a contemporary, ecumenically sensitive, and comprehensive discussion of the doctrines of creation, the human person as God's image and likeness, sin, grace, and the relationship of humanity to other creatures and the environ, this collection of thirty-two chapters, edited by Mary Ann Hinsdale and Stephen Ockey, is the perfect find. The contributors, well-established and emerging scholars, are reliable guides to theological anthropology as it has been developed in the last two thousand years, its methodology, fundamental themes, prominent figures, and contemporary issues. Highly recommended for theological courses and libraries. -- Peter C. Phan, Georgetown University, USA
This volume is unique among others of its kind, and is especially set apart by the assembling of the insights of both veteran theologians and emerging scholars. This dynamic group of authors are all asking the most important question of our time: How is it still possible to savor the beauty and joy of this great adventure of being human in the world? This volume strives for a 'small c' catholic response to that question and it includes perspectives from both the 'Great Tradition' as well as often neglected voices. In particular, critical and liberationist theological perspectives (feminist, decolonial, intersectional, and critical race theory) are central to the discourse. This volume is a 'must have' for theologians and students. -- Gunda Werner, Karl-Franzens-Universitat Graz, Austria
Bringing together seasoned experts and emerging scholars, this volume offers a comprehensive guide to theological anthropology.

Drawing on treasures new and old-classic figures and new voices, perennial questions and contemporary challenges-this Handbook provides a trustworthy guide for those seeking to explore the rich, complex and shifting field of theological anthropology. -- Mary Catherine Hilkert, University of Notre Dame, USA

[T]he authors explore TA [Theological Anthropology] themes with ecumenical awareness. As such, it can benefit the readers of other theological traditions. ... the reader now has access to diverse and abundant historical information about TA, which paves the way for further study. ... this volume clearly shows the role that TA can play in the contemporary age, which is characterized by advanced science and technology but, at the same time, associated with many ethical issues. * The Journal of Reformed Theology *
