Understanding Theological Anthropology

Definition:
Theological Anthropology is the study of humanity in relation to God — how we are created, fallen, and redeemed according to divine purpose. It asks: What does it mean to be human in the light of God’s revelation?
It explores the mystery of humanity’s creation in the Imago Dei — the “image of God” — and the ongoing process of renewal through Christ.

Theologian John Kilner (2018) identifies Christ as both the standard and the enabler of humanity’s restoration:

“God has deemed Christ to be both the standard and the enabler of who people are to be, as created in God’s image.”
