Abstract

Many theological anthropologies claim that Jesus Christ is in some way the revelation of true humanity. He is “the mystery of man,” ¹ “true humanity,” ² the “archetype” of humanity, ³ and the revelation of “what human nature is intended to be.” ⁴ Thus, Ray Anderson argues that only “the humanity of Christ … discloses the radical form of true humanity,” ⁵ exemplifying what may be described as a widespread consensus among theologians that Jesus Christ lies at the heart of theological anthropology. ⁶
