I better start reading. Even if I start now, there's no way I'm getting through all of that before second semester :)
I haven't finished it yet but David Kesley's Eccentric Existence is turning out to be an amazing book on theological anthropology.
Me too!
I will perhaps make reference to it in the course... it was too late in a way to put it on the reading list.
Joel - the reading is actually not as long as it looks. Lots of excerpts!
Odd that you do not have Rahner or Aquinas in you reading list. Although you have some philosophical anthropology do you not think something like Aristotle` De Anima would assist to realise where theological anthropology. As a good man said `philosophy is the handmaid to theology`. Otherwise it seems a reasonable list but heavy on the Protestant. I `ve just had a thought Augustine would be a good addition
Sorry I meant to say where `theological anthropology originates`
Yeah, you should find a way to sneak Kelsey in. Or just list the whole book as required reading (for a cruel joke).
Pannenberg's classic?
Andrew - since I am Protestant, and the course is in a Protestant college, I am not embarassed about the Protestant emphasis. I did have some von Balthasar, and I may refer to it.
One of the assignments is to write a review of JP2's massive book Theology of the Body.
The reading list is meant to interesting and idiosyncractic rather than comprehensive I guess, too.
Michael,
Good list. I was going to suggest Pannenberg's Anthropology in Theological Perspective as well. There's also Paul Jewett's, The Dignity of Being Human. I thought Joel Green's recent book Body, Soul and Human Life a fine example of biblical theology grappling with contemporary anthropological concerns.
Robert Banks
oh boy, this course is already shaping up as the absolute highlight of my year, thanks for all your work to put it together.
i'm swimming in DB Harts 'Beauty of the infinite' at the moment, I reckon parts of it could be pretty handy for theological anthropology
458, wow. Looks like a great mix though, I'm really looking forward to the reading!
