Description
This book explores what human dignity means and how it is challenged in modern culture. It examines the relationship between contemporary understandings of human dignity and the ancient Christian doctrine of imago Dei, or the idea that humans are created in God's image.
Leading scholars from three major Christian traditions - Eastern Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant - engage in an ecumenical conversation about teachings of imago Dei and present-day understandings of human dignity. The book draws on a wide range of sources, including Scripture, patristic works, and modern theologians.
Thomas Albert Howard's work is an indispensable resource for those seeking to deepen their understanding of the theological bases for Christian views of human dignity. It offers a unique contribution to present-day Christian thought, combining ethical inquiry with ecumenical collaboration.
