CED6352 Biblical Anthropology
An introduction to theology and psychology of personhood from a Christian perspective through a survey of Biblical storyline, theological anthropology, and essentials of biblical and cultural hermeneutics. Includes survey of prominent themes and basic storyline of redemption history presented in the Christian Scriptures (i.e., Old Testament and New Testament Survey). Special revelation and the inspiration and authority of scripture are surveyed. Major features of theological anthropology are covered (i.e., the doctrine of the imago Dei, the mind/body problem, free will, human sexuality, race) and related with current psychology and counseling theories of personhood. Consideration is given to implications of biblical anthropology for personal life of the counselor and the theories and practices of hermeneutics for daily life.
