Was ist der Mensch? - Die Anthropologie der Gegenwart im Lichte der Theologie

He provides an overview of the theological approach to modern anthropological research, with particular emphasis on its methods and results. This volume also contains additional comments by the author with positive or critical standpoints toward certain directions anthropology has taken.In further chapters the author is concerned with the major themes of human attitudes toward the world and toward God, coping with life through the powers of imagination as well as human egoism.
