The concept of personhood is an issue of central importance for both science and theology. This new volume written by leading American and European scholars Dennis Bielfeldt, Niels Henrik Gregersen, Philip Hefner, Hugo Lagerkrantz, Mary Midgley, John A. Teske, Fraser Watts, and Michael Welker explores personhood from scientific and theological perspectives and introduces a new biocultural paradigm for understanding the person as a relational being.
