Eccentric Existence: A Theological Anthropology (2-Volume Set)

Eccentric Existence: A Theological Anthropology (2-Volume Set) by Kelsey, David H.. Hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780664220525.

What does it mean to be a human being? David Kelsey expertly probes this complicated issue in his exhaustive and ambitious examination of theological anthropology. Divided into three parts, Kelseys work posits that humanitys relationship to God is a basic claim of Christianity and that God actively relates to human beings in three major ways: God creates them, God is there at the end of all things eschatologically, and God reconciles humans when they are alienated from God. The result of this seminal theological work is a textured affirmation of humanitys relationship with God and with each other. It represents the culmination of decades of theological thought and is certain to be recognized as a major achievement.
