What does it mean to be "truly human?" In Christological Anthropology in Historical Perspective, Marc Cortez looks at the ways several key theologians--Gregory of Nyssa, Julian of Norwich, Martin Luther, Friedrich Schleiermacher, Karl Barth, John Zizioulas, and James Cone--have used Christology to inform their understanding of the human person. Based on this historical study, he concludes with a constructive proposal for how Christology and anthropology should work together to inform our view of what it means to be human. Many theologians begin their discussion of the human person by claiming that in some way Jesus Christ reveals what it means to be "truly human," but this often has little impact in the material presentation of their anthropology. Although modern theologians often fail to reflect robustly on the relationship between Christology and anthropology, this was not the case throughout church history. In this book, examine seven key theologians and discover their important contributions to theological anthropology. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

What I was more upset with was the addition of numerous professors recommendations in or on this book without any one, including the author. mentioning it was an apologia for the current social issues listed above. They lied to me and the potential reader. A notation of such apologia should have been included in the book in order to form a personal preference to read the book or not.
The author drops hints of the coming liberal opinion he prefers to call Christology from the first chapter entitled "Beyond Genitalia" which is nothing more than a completely fantastical understanding of Gregory of Nyssa. On page fifty-one (51) however, he comes right to the crux (no pun intended) of the purpose of his book; he proclaims "In other words, we can distinguish between one's "sex" and "one's gender". He then makes mention in the form of a footnote that Gregory could not be seen during his life and up to modern times as supporting the belief between sex and gender.
I've never read such pretty and thoroughly difficult writing. I believe this approach was to soften the blow of what the real intent is of his book. Every single word nudges the reader to accept a theology of subjective truth rather than the objective truth to which the bible's authors intended. This bottom-up theology is disastrous for the soul. I can't help but think the author and his contemporaries want us all to join the bandwagon to damnation.
This book was clearly not written for the layman but instead, for the liberal, theological academic family network in which the author resides so as to accept today's social issues through a group-think process.
If the reader of this review wishes to accept today's social justice issues as the foundation for justification and ultimate salvation, feel free to disregard this review and read the book to further support of one's beliefs. If one wishes to read what Gregory of Nyssa was proffering, read a translation of Gregory and decide for oneself what he wants to convey. The same goes for every writer mentioned in this book.
I give this book two stars; one for the pretty words and one for the laughter the book provided me while reading.
