Paperback. Condition: Good. What does it mean when we speak of human dignity? What challengesdoes human dignity confront in our culture today? What is the relationshipbetween contemporary understandings of human dignity and theancient Christian doctrine of imago Dei, the view that human beingsare created in the image and likeness of God?This book pursues these and related questions in the form of an ecumenicaltrialogue by leading scholars from the three major Christian traditions: John Behr from the Eastern Orthodox tradition, Russell Hittinger from the Catholic, and C. Ben Mitchell from the Protestant tradition. The book is the first of its kind to foster an ecumenical conversationaround teachings of imago Dei and present-day understandings of human dignity. The three chapter-essays, the editor's introduction, and the afterword by Lutheran theologian Gilbert Meilaender draw from a wide array of sources, including Scripture, patristic works, ancient creeds, medieval and Thomistic writings, papal encyclicals, Protestant confessional statements, the works of modern theologians, and more.Imago Dei will serve as an indispensable resource for those wishingto deepen their grasp of the theological bases for Christian views of humandignity, as well as for those who believe that Christ's words thatthey be one (John 17:21) remain a theological imperative today. Thecombination of ethical inquiry and ecumenical collaboration makesthis timely book a unique and compelling contribution to present-dayChristian thought.ABOUT THE EDITOR: Thomas Albert Howard currently holds the Stephen Phillips Chair of Historyand is director of the Center for Faith and Inquiry at Gordon College. He is the authorof numerous publications including God and the Atlantic: America, Europe, andthe Religious Divide.PRAISE FOR THE BOOK: It is a good moment for this volume to appear.
