In the context of Christian Theology , ''' Theological Anthropology ''' refers to the study of the human ("anthropology") as it relates to God . It differs from the Social Science of Anthropology , which primarily deals with the comparative study of the physical and social characteristics of humanity across times and places. One aspect studies the innate nature or constitution of the human, known as the nature of humankind (known as the '''nature of man''' before the popularity of Gender-neutral Language ). It is concerned with the relationship between notions such as Body , Soul and Spirit which together form a person, based on their descriptions in the Bible . There are three traditional views of the human constitution – Trichotomism , Dichotomism and Monism (in the sense of anthropology). Millard Erickson , ''Christian Theology'' 2nd edn, 537 TERMS OR COMPONENTS Body See Also: body The body (Greek σῶμα ''soma'') is the corporeal or physical aspect of a human being. Christians have traditionally believed that the body will be Resurrected at the end of the age. |
