"Daniel Hill's work exemplifies the dialogical possibilities of biblically committed, yet teachable, evangelical theology. The dialogue he pursues in this book shines a helpful spotlight on the connection between our nurture in the church and the nature of our humanity." --Daniel J. Treier, Knoedler Professor of Theology, Wheaton College "Daniel Hill interacts with theological giants--John Zizioulas, Hans Urs von Balthasar, and Stanley Hauerwas--in building his ecclesio-anthropology. His thesis is that ecclesiology--that is, the nature, mission, practices, and telos of the church--provides necessary insight into the study of human imagination, vocation, formation, and flourishing. Thus ecclesio-anthropology provides enriching insight into the nature of human action, the goodness of human embodiment, and the teleological nature of human creatures." --Gerry Breshears, Professor of Theology, Western Seminary, Portland, Oregon.
