REL 268 - Theology of the Human Person

This course is a theological exploration of what it means to be human. It begins from the conviction that we can only understand who we are in the light of Christ, true God and true man. By close study of Scripture and certain strands of the theological tradition, we will sketch a deeply Christian vision of the human person with which we will engage ancient and contemporary heresies and challenges. The course will engage topics such as personhood and human nature, sin and redemption, grace and free will, marriage and family, sex and gender, the body, race, and disability.
