TH222 Theological Anthropology is unavailable, but you can change that!

In the course Theological Anthropology, Dr. Marc Cortez looks at the question, What does it mean to be human? Dr. Cortez begins by surveying how to go about studying the human person from a theological perspective. He reviews the history of Christian reflection on what it means to be human and then presses into a range of difficult concomitant issues. The course covers classic theological issues...

There is a long history of people identifying something and saying that alone is what is unique about the human person and then science researching it further, studying it more, and ending up saying, actually, “No, humans do that in a unique way, but they’re not the only ones who do that at all.” And all of that data together emphasizes, from a scientific perspective, that we have more in common with the rest of creation than we sometimes like to think.
