This unit is a study of Christian reflection on what it means to be human in relation to God and what makes up our humanity. It explores biblical, philosophical and theological foundations in understanding humanity as created in the image of God, human freedom, grace, nature and sin. The dialectic of authentic human living within the intersubjectivity of community and how these are embodied through human arrangements in response to historical, cultural and religious factors such as family, race, identity, the limitations of sickness and disability, ageing and death, and the ecological crisis of our times
