In a world often consumed with self-sufficiency, this book reminds us that humans have an innate need for the grace of God's personal presence.
Using a rubric from analytic philosophy that defines "fundamental need," Christa McKirland makes an exegetical and theological case that human beings were created to need the presence of God in order to flourish. She argues for a new way of understanding the image of God and shows the significance of the imago Dei for other topics in the theological system. McKirland explains that the ongoing need for the grace of God's personal presence is not a liability but is our greatest human dignity and is a critical key to understanding human flourishing.
This book sets forth a constructive theological anthropology that affirms the value of all human beings. Professors, students, and scholars of theology will value this work.
