description: A Biblical Perspective on What It Means to Be HumanThis major work by a widely respected Old Testament scholar and theologian unpacks a biblical perspective on fundamental questions of what it means to be human. J. Gordon McConville explores how a biblical view of humanity provides a foundation for Christian reflection on ethics economics politics and church life and practice. The book shows that the Old Testament's view of humanity as earthed and embodied plays an essential part in a well-rounded Christian theology and spirituality and applies the theological concept of the image of God to all areas of human existence.
