description: Engaging with the Complex Subject of Theological Anthropology. Theological anthropology is a complicated doctrinal subject that needs to be elaborated with careful attention to its relation to other major doctrines. Among other things it must confess the glory and misery of humanity from creation in the image of God to the fall into a state of sin. It must reckon with a holism that spans distinctions between body soul and spirit and a unity that encompasses male and female as well as racial and cultural difference. The Christian Doctrine of Humanity represents the proceedings of the sixth annual Los Angeles Theology Conference which sought constructively and comprehensively to engage the task of theological anthropology. The twelve diverse essays in this collection include discussions Each of the essays collected in this volume engage with Scripture as well as with others in the fieldtheologians both past and present from different confessionsin order to provide constructive resources for contemporary systematic theology and to forge a theology for the future.
