ReSourcing Theological Anthropology

Theologians working in theological anthropology often claim that Jesus
reveals what it means to be truly human," but this often has little " impact in their actual account of anthropology. ReSourcing Theological
Anthropology addresses that lack by offering an account of why theological
anthropology must begin with Christology. Building off his earlier study on how
key theologians in church history have understood the relationship between
Christology and theological anthropology, Cortez now develops a new proposal
for theological anthropology and applies it to the theological situation
today.






ReSourcing Theological Anthropology is divided into four sections. The
first section explores the relevant Christological/anthropological biblical
passages and unpacks how they inform our understanding of theological
anthropology. The second section discusses the theological issues raised in the
course of surveying the biblical texts. The third section lays out a
methodological framework for how to construct a uniquely Christological
anthropology. The final section builds on the first three sections and
demonstrates the significance of Christology for understanding theological
anthropology by applying the methodological framework to several pressing
anthropological issues: gender and sexuality, race and ethnicity, and death and
suffering.
