Description
The human being: a question that has been misunderstood and forgotten in recent times. Edith Stein's theological anthropology offers wisdom to resume asking this fundamental question. In "Human and Divine Being", Donald Wallenfang provides a comprehensive summary of Stein's thought, exploring themes such as human vocation, spiritual being, the human soul, material being, empathy, and the logic of the cross. Stein's work is characterized by its use of phenomenology and metaphysics to understand the relationship between divine and human beings. Her ideas are part of a broader tradition known as "perennial philosophy", which has shaped thought since conscious time began. This book provides an in-depth examination of Stein's theological anthropology, shedding light on the meaning of human existence against the backdrop of suffering and darkness. By exploring Stein's work, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the human condition and our place within the world. This book is a valuable resource for those interested in Christian theology, anthropology, and philosophy.
