Man is at the most important recipient of the mystery of salvation. The Greek word for man is ho anthropos. Anthropology is the subject which studies man, and the module proposed within this course is A Catholic Perspective of Anthropology. Before dealing with the Christian understanding of man, the student is taken through an academic exposure to know about Philosophical anthropology. Thereafter, a Theological understanding of man or a Theological anthropology is studied with reference to the Bible and very specially to Jesus Christ, true God and true Man. The module also covers topics such as embodiment of man as male and female, human action (covering areas such as life, knowledge, self-consciousness, freedom, dignity, language, culture and work), being as human, human condition and man and divinization.
