Mensch

Human as »the most familiar of living animal« (Aristotle) has been scrutinised throughout the sciences and across societies. This volume offers a basic orientation to human images in the Bible, the ecclesiastical and philosophical tradition, as well as to contemporary anthropologies from the point of view of the theological disciplines, supplemented by psychology of religion. The contributions are a result of debates between the authors and thus the book provides relevant themes for a cross-disciplinary anthropological debate.
