The study of man today is divided in three ways that it should not be: between the humanities and the social sciences, between natural and metaphysical philosophy, and between faith and reason. This book bridges these three divides to build toward an integrated understanding of human being that begins with the revealed truths of Christian faith. Because its humanism draws upon diverse fields of art, anthropology, psychology, philosophy, and theology, the book should be of interest to scholars and students of all kinds. And because its humanism is all about us, the book should interest be of interest to anyone who happens to be human.
Professor Sandelands ably draws from religious and scientific arguments as well as from personal experience to develop the implications of Christian belief on our understanding of the human condition. In lucid terms he juxtaposes the corrosive influence of scientific materialism on self-knowledge with a vision of human beings as inherently noble, spiritual and capable of reflecting the attributes of their Creator.
