Being Human in God's World

Being Human in God's World

This major work by a widely respected Old Testament scholar and theologian
unpacks a biblical perspective on fundamental questions of what it means to be
human.
J. Gordon McConville explores how a biblical view of humanity provides a
foundation for Christian reflection on ethics, economics, politics, and church
life and practice. He shows that the Old Testament's view of humanity as
earthed" and "embodied" plays an essential part in a well-rounded Christian " theology and spirituality, and he applies the theological concept of the image " of God to all areas of human existence. " The book also pays attention to the ways in which the genres of the Old
Testament contribute to its articulation of the human experience. Human life,
both as depicted in the Old Testament world and as advocated to readers,
comprises all possibilities--between flourishing and tragedy, and between the
enacted realization of the image of God and its corruption. Yet it is informed
by eschatological direction and hope, which ensures the meaningfulness of the
ordinary, daily components of life. McConville shows that true engagement with
the Old Testament on the subject is a matter not merely of intellectual
comprehension but of commitment to personal and communal transformation, which
in whole-biblical perspective is ultimately conformation to Christ.
Being Human in God's World will appeal to professors and students of the Bible,
especially the Old Testament, as well as to church leaders and other serious
readers.
