{"product_id":"the-doctrine-of-humanity-charles-sherlock-9780830815357","title":"The Doctrine of Humanity","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt the end of the twentieth century the forces of race, gender, ethnicity, culture, social status, life-style and sexual preference threaten to disassemble any notion of universal \"human nature\" or \"human condition.\" In light of this historical moment, the Christian doctrine of human nature is ripe for rethinking and reformulation. Charles Sherlock sees this theological task as demanding a \"double focus.\" To reflect on the subject of human nature, he says, is like \"moving around the different areas of an ellipse with two focal points\" humans as made in the image of God and the particular realities of human existence. Both must be brought into sharper, more detailed focus in our quest to understand human nature. The result of Sherlock's \"double focus\" is \u003ci\u003eThe Doctrine of Humanity.\u003c\/i\u003e Sherlock notably engages the communal dimension of humanity in its social, creational and cultural aspects before examining the human person as individual, as male and female, and as whole being. He offers a timely and engaging look at what it means to be human on the continuum between our creation in the divine image and our recreation in the image of Christ.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Sherlock\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 083081535X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780830815357\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e IVP Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/23\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 303\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.03h x 6.07w x 0.86d","brand":"Charles Sherlock","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44450396209407,"sku":"9780830815357","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bcbf65b6-bc30-4287-aa55-118297c0f071.jpg?v=1698504560","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-doctrine-of-humanity-charles-sherlock-9780830815357","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
