Beschreibungen
The quest for an understanding of humanness has been significant. As the ways in which we recognize and define our human being have significant impact, wide-ranging discussions and questions about the human have taken place, with significant theoretical and practical implications. In Person, Personhood, and the Humanity of Christ, Hakbong Kim explores Thomas F. Torrance's critiques of the dualist and individualistic views concerning human beings in the history of philosophy and theology. This book sheds important light on Torrance's understanding of humans as persons in relation, the trinitarian personhood as the ontological foundation for human personhood, and the humanity of Christ as key to the personalization necessary for a new moral, ethical, and social life. This presents a Christocentric anthropology and ethics, which focuses on Christ's ongoing reconciling and humanizing ministry for us.
HAKBONG KIM is a Lecturer of Systematic Theology at Asia Center for Theological Studies and Mission (ACTS) and Presbyterian University and Theological Seminary (PUTS) in South Korea.

“In this valuable study, Dr. Hakbong Kim presents a deft account of T. F. Torrance’s holistic anthropology, showing its close links with the doctrine of God and the humanity of Christ. One of the most skillful and lucid articulations of Torrance to date, this points to the ethical potential of his dogmatic theology.”

<br> “In this excellent new addition to the growing scholarship on T. F. Torrance, Hakbong Kim focuses on Torrance’s Trinitarian understanding of personhood, and how, through the humanity of Christ, the ‘personalizing person,’ God has acted to restore our true humanity. More successfully than the ‘social trinitarians,’ Torrance indicates how this restoration is worked out particularly through the church, and Kim works creatively to draw out the clear anthropological, ethical, and social implications.”

<br> “This book will be of interest to anyone concerned to see how a properly functioning doctrine of the Trinity must take seriously the fact that our knowledge of God and relations with others are grounded in our reconciliation with God in Christ. The author helpfully argues that Torrance’s Christology does not neglect ethics, as has been sometimes claimed, but upholds ethics in a theologically appropriate way. Kim believes Torrance can provide a useful corrective to the weaknesses he identifies in social trinitarianism.”
