Contents:
Exploring hermeneutic lenses for reconstructing the human -- The interlocking structures of forms of oppression -- A theological reading of the interlocking forms of oppression : sin and evil -- Humanity in the crucible of classism : re-imagining the human in response to classism -- Re-imagining the human in response to sexism : toward an integrated man and woman -- Re-imagining anthropology in response to racism : encountering God in one's racial identity -- Reimagining the human in light of the travail of the ecosystem -- Becoming a new human being in right (just) relation -- The eschatological people : living the promise of the future in the realities of the present.
Summary: This book explores theological anthropology?the doctrine of what it means to be human and to be created in God?s image. Fernandez argues that our life in the image of God is damaged and frustrated by the systemic evil of society, particularly the four radical evils of classism, racism, sexism, and naturism (destructive practices against the ecosystem). At the heart of these four evils are matters of faith and idolatry?worshiping human constructs and living under the lie of false securities. Idols demand the sacrifice of our souls, bodies, time, and anything that we cherish most.
