About The Self Examined: Christian Perspectives On Human
Product Description Does Our Identity Come From God? Through a fresh investigation of the relationship between faith and identity, this diverse group of international contributors offers an engaging discussion of human identity and specifically, Christian identity. From a biblical foundation, they address theological discussions of identity and contemporary cultural themes, such as migration, ethnicity, embodiment, attachment, and gender. Straightforward and thought-provoking, The Self Examined is an accessible guide to this wide-ranging and important issue. Review Nine authors from across the globe offer insightful, interdisciplinary scrutiny of how Christian belonging interacts with prominent contemporary discourses on identity. They explore shame, forgiveness, and suffering alongside ethnic, gender, and migrant identities to provide helpful theological responses to issues of identity. --Emma Wild-Wood, PhD, Senior Lecturer of African Christianity and African Indigenous Religions, University of Edinburgh Jenny McGill has put together a team of cross-disciplinary researchers who draw on Scripture, history, culture, and biology to help us think through what it means to have a Christian identity in a world troubled by the quest to know oneself. --Michael F. Bird, PhD, Lecturer in Theology at Ridley College, Melbourne Often in radically changing times, we reflect on identity instinctively from the perspective of fear. This book not only describes this phenomena but also gives fresh perspectives on how to deal with contemporary identity formation. I highly recommend this book. --Jacobus (Kobus) Kok, PhD, Department Chair and Professor of New Testament Studies, Evangelische Theologische Faculteit, Leuven, Belgium From the Inside Flap Through a fresh investigation of the relationship between faith and identity, this diverse group of international contributors offers an engaging discussion of human identity, and specifically, Christian identity.
