What It Means to Be Human: Living with Others before God

by Michelle J. Bartel

Overview

The book is a clear treatment, in nontechnical language, of the Christian doctrine of anthropology. It describes human beings as created by God and defined by relationships—with God and others.

The Foundations of Christian Faith series enables readers to learn about contemporary theology in ways that are clear, enjoyable, and meaningful. It examines the doctrines of the Christian faith and stimulates readers not only to think more deeply about their faith but also to understand their faith in relationship to contemporary challenges and questions. Individuals and study groups alike will find these guides invaluable in their search for depth and integrity in their Christian faith.
