Reviews for The Ashgate Research Companion to Theological Anthropology

"An invigoratingly diverse collection of essays focused on the Christian understanding of human nature in general and its bearing the image of God in particular; it would serve as an excellent introduction to the developing interest shown by analytic theology in these and related topics." - T.J. Mawson, University of Oxford, UK "This Ashgate volume, brilliantly crafted by ... Read morefirst-rate scholars from multiple disciplines, is a paragon of excellence for research companions. Rigorous, well informed, and refreshingly insightful, it is a tour de force of theological anthropology!" - Chad Meister, Bethel College, USA "Excellent in breadth and depth of treatment of relevant topics, with an international group of contributors, senior scholars and scholars newer to their fields but already published therein, this is a superb contribution to the fresh interest in theological anthropology, which it expands, develops, and encourages." - Keith E. Yandell, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA "Overall, I think the editors put together a helpful volume that is entirely unique.
