CD216/316 |
| Kevin Lenehan |
Semester 2, 2012 Tuesday 2.00pm — 5.00pm |
This unit seeks to elaborate a Christian vision of the human person through a systematic inquiry into what it means to be human, in the light of the history of humanity’s relationship to God as revealed fully and finally in Jesus Christ. Particular attention will be given to the scriptural basis of a Christian anthropology, and to a detailed examination of the areas of creation, grace and sin.
