The turbulence and confusion of contemporary life should motivate us to ask the big questions of life anew and to reexamine the disastrous naturalism of the twentieth century. This volume gathers thinkers from a breadth of confessional Christian traditions who share a passionate interest in understanding the nature of persons.
The contributors attempt to recover the ancient biblical account of human identity "in the image of God." Their essays fall naturally into three divisions -- those retrieving historical discussions of human identity, those presenting contemporary challenges to a distinctively Christian anthropology, and those offering constructive proposals toward a richer understanding of persons.
