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 first-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. Christian graduate students in these disciplines will be served as they work through it, and professors will find helpful essays for class preparation to familiarize themselves with current argumentation for a variety of views surrounding anthropology." - Themelios

"This is an excellent collection of essays which, most commendably, as they say, ‘does what it says on the tin’." - David Munchin, Welwyn, Hertfordshire, UK, in The Journal of Theological Studies

"…this will be a useful reference work for libraries, and its articles should be profitable to those designing an advanced seminar in anthropology" - A. W. Klink, Duke University, USA, in Religious Studies Review

"…is in my estimation essential for anyone interested what a Christian view of human persons could look like and how these views impact how we understand humanity as bearing the Imago Dei." – Brandon L. Rickabaugh, Baylor University in Religious Studies Review
