This classic work, now expanded and updated with a fifty-two-page Afterword, presents Paul s pastoral anthropology in terms of his own thought, not alien categories imposed upon him. After examining in part 1 the New Testament witness about Jesus the Christ to discover what humans can be and should be (anthropology), Murphy-O Connor turns his attention in part 2 to the human condition within society: under sin; alienated from God and the world; and egocentric. Part 3 then discusses life in the body of Christ the Christian community as the authentic existence that overcomes egocentric alienation in the true freedom of the mind of Christ.
