On Christology, Anthropology, Cognitive Science and the Human BodyAuthor(s): Martin Claes\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, United Kingdom\nImprint: Bloomsbury Academic\nISBN-13: 9781350296084, 978-1350296084\nSynopsis\nThis book reads texts of Augustine on the topic of the human body in the context of contemporary debates in philosophical theology and relevant authors from the cognitive science of religion. Martin Claes focuses particularly on Augustines special position in the intellectual discourses of Western philosophy (free will, theodicy), theology (grace, incarnation) and humanities (anthropology, political sciences, law), arguing that his written work is an excellent point of departure for a multidimensional scholarly approach.\n\nThe reading in this book shows that a different picture emerges if we make the effort to situate Augustines mature anthropology within contemporary debates in philosophical theology and cognitive science of religion.
