God and Humanity

This is the first book to apply Bavinck''s theological anthropology to contemporary theological issues. Sutanto provides a sustained close reading of Herman Bavinck''s contributions to theological anthropology and positions him in conversation with current and historical dialogues on embodiment, revelation, affect theory, phenomenology, the cognitive science of religion, ethics, race, covenant, and the beatific vision. Sutanto explores the holistic character of Bavinck''s vision of humanity, suggesting ways in which his theological anthropology cuts across several potential binaries in contemporary discourse, between affect and reason, body and soul, animality and religiosity, unity and diversity, and between a this-worldly or other-worldly eschatology.>

Texte du rabat

"This groundbreaking work reveals that Bavinck's theological anthropology offers a holistic vision that cuts across common binaries in the current literature on theological anthropology, such as differing models on the Imago Dei, the body-soul relation and humanity's destiny. Sutanto applies Bavinck's theological anthropology to contemporary theological issues, providing a theological backdrop for explorations on gender, non-human animals and eco-theology"--
