What does it mean to be a person? What are the essential features of personhood revealed by Scripture and explicated in Christian doctrine? And -- perhaps most crucial to our modern times -- how does the religious view of personhood align with those of contemporary philosophy, science, and the arts? This volume seeks to answer this question in ways that will both enrich and enliven the witness of the church. The fruit of extensive conversations between sixty pastor-theologians from across the United States -- many of whom are contributors to the volume -- "Persons in Community" highlights the basic insights from the ecumenical Christian tradition that still provide guidance and inspiration in the human quest for personal integrity, as well as the pressing need for justice, peace, and freedom today. The authors first re-examines the concept of people as God's image-bearers from biblical, doctrinal, and cultural perspectives. They then develop a fresh portrait of people as God's faithful and prudent managers, created to live in loving community. Contributors: Byron C. Bangert, Joseph A.
