The essential task of theological anthropology is to understand human beings as the icons of the incomprehensible God. The culmination of this task is not a direct encounter with God, rather it is to participate in the process of transformation. The goal for us is partaking in grace through the divine-human person that Christ Jesus embodies and progressively growing into that unity. Karl Rahner and Paulos Mar Gregorios, representing two traditions, offer insights that deepen our understanding of theological anthropology. The East and West, with their unique perspectives, contribute to a comprehensive paradigm for understanding humanity’s orientation towards the mystery of God. The orientation towards mystery is bestowed as a gracious gift, with God choosing the human body as a confirmation of the image and likeness endowed to us during creation. Each day reveals a diverse perspective on humanity, challenging theology to offer its unique interpretation. War, hate crimes, racism, and immigration are contemporary issues in our times that demand a nuanced understanding, and theological anthropology plays a crucial role in shedding light on these challenges. Theological anthropology, as a discipline that explores the nature and significance of humanity from a theological perspective, offers insights into the roots of conflict, prejudice, and injustice. By examining the theological foundations of divine image, equality, and interconnectedness, theological anthropology can contribute to fostering empathy, promoting social justice, and challenging the ideologies. It encourages a holistic view that recognizes the inherent dignity of every individual. This thesis explores a renewed understanding of the theological notion of the human person. This understanding of the human person is developed by examining the divine rootedness and relational aspects of Karl Rahner’s theological anthropology in conversation with that of Paulos Gregorios.
