Biblical Anthropology

By Bishop Jerry L Hayes

Biblical Anthropology is a study in what the Bible teaches concerning the origin, nature (ontology), history and destiny of mankind. Reviewed in this work is the debate over whether or not the human being is bipartite-such as only body and soul, or tripartite-such as body, soul and spirit. Biblical Anthropology addresses the question of whether or not the soul is mortal or immortal; that is, does the soul have existence apart from the body. Also discussed are the different positions within Christianity concerning the intermediated state of the soul: "soul sleep" and "consciousness." What, exactly happens at death? Will there be a resurrection of the body, and if so what nature will the resurrected body take? Why is there a need for a resurrection, at all? These are important questions addressed in this book. Bishop Jerry L hayes presents a very orthodox view of Christian biblical anthropology which relies heavily on holy Scripture with a generous sprinkling of quotes from the ancient churchmen such as Athenagoras, Tertullian, and Augustine to name a few. Also included is a complete index of all Scripture quotes and references.
