From the one subject to the three persons : the renewal of Trinitarian theology ; From interiority to psychotherapy : an archeology of the self ; From autobiography to preference : the undermining of the self -- The texts : the imago Dei in Trinitarian perspective. From structure to destiny : the imago Dei in Christian theology ; From humankind to the true human : the imago Dei and biblico Christo-anthropology ; From eschatological hope to ongoing task : the imago Dei and the new humanity -- The application : the social imago and the postmodern (loss of) self. From the eternal city to the primordial garden : the imago Dei and human sexuality ; From the many to the one : the reconstruction of the self-in-community.
Summary: The first of a six-volume contribution to systematic theology, this text extends the insights of contemporary Trinitarian thought to theological anthropology. It develops a communal understanding of the "imago deli" in the face of the demise of the centred self.
