The Depth of the Human Person

<DIV>This volume brings together leading theologians biblical scholars scientists philosophers ethicists and others to explore the multidimensionality and depth of the human person. Moving away from dualistic (mind-body spirit-flesh naturalmental) anthropologies the book's contributors examine human personhood in terms of a complex flesh-body-mind-heart-soul-conscience-reason-spirit spectrum.<br><br><I>The Depth of the Human Person</I> begins with a provocative essay on the question Why is personhood conceptually difficult? It then rises to the challenge of relating theological contributions on the subject to various scientific explorations. Finally the book turns to contemporary theological-ethical challenges discussing such subjects as human dignity embodiment gender stereotypes and human personhood at the edges of life.<br><br><B>Contributors:</B><br><UL><LI>Maria Antonaccio</LI><LI>Warren S.
