Sinossi
Excerpt from The Princeton Seminary Bulletin, 2006, Vol. 27
Acknowledging this might lead us to switch our attention from the past to present and then to the future. Perhaps we will discover the rationale of the seminary if we ask what functions we need seminaries to perform now and how we are to anticipate their role in years to come. But once again, this is not a very promising approach. Placing too much emphasis on contemporary relevance runs the risk of falling victim to passing fashion and thus being without any abiding purpose. Focusing too much on anticipated need ignores the fact that human beings are strikingly poor predictors of the future despite a seemingly irresistible inclination to try to do so.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book re-examines the origins of the concept of imago Dei and its interpretation throughout the history of Christianity. The author argues that interpretations of imago Dei have remained consistent in core ideas, yet many of these notions have led to abstract and speculative theological constructions of human uniqueness that float free of the realities of nature and of the human body. The book critiques the notion of human uniqueness based on disembodied theological notions, focusing instead on ideas about the notion of the imago Dei in a highly contextualized, embodied sense that respects the material context of human origins. The author explores the emergence of the symbolic human mind and the historical and material context of human origins as demonstrated by the spectacular cave art of the Upper Paleolithic. The book also presents recent interdisciplinary challenges coming from voices in the neurosciences and how they are reshaping theological anthropology. The author engages in conversations with scholars from different disciplines on issues of embodiment and its crucial role in theology and science, arguing that human uniqueness can be adequately addressed only if we take seriously our own animality and embodied personhood in theology and the sciences.
