Theological anthropology

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The theological anthropology and Christian anthropology as part of the field of systematic theology interprets the people from a Christian theological perspective. She is particularly concerned with the essence of man and the determination of man before God .

Theological anthropology assumes that the books of the Bible reflect a tradition of reflecting on God and man and therefore tries to derive generally valid statements and conclusions from these.

One area is the interpretation of the Old Testament terms such as: bazaar, nefesch , leb and ruach ; Body , soul and spirit as well as person .

In addition, it aims to provide biblical and historical theological interpretations of man, his creation and image of God , to clarify the question of holiness and justice , of original sin , the "universal sinfulness" or original sin and the individual sins of man and finally of the redesign or seek the justification of man through God or Jesus Christ and his grace as well as the redeemed and liberated human existence.
