The Goodness of Home: Human and Divine Love and the Making of the Self: AAR Academy Series

Autor Natalia Marandiuc
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 mar 2018
In a modern world characterized by a precarious job market, class inequality, and a global migrant crisis, Natalia Marandiuc asks the question: How does home affect one's identity? In this wide-ranging contribution to Christian theological anthropology, Marandiuc argues that love attachments function as sources of subjectivity and enablers of human freedom. Human loves and the love of God are co-creators of the self and they situate human subjectivity in a relational home. Paradoxically, the depth of human belonging, dependence, is thus directly proportional to the strength of human agency, independence. Building upon Søren Kierkegaard, research in the neuroscience of attachment theory, and contemporary constructions of the self, The Goodness of Home makes original contributions to several central issues in contemporary Christian theological anthropology. Love is understood as central to the building of subjectivity, which is seen as an intersection of desire and need. For Marandiuc, the self is a complex process of becoming rather than a static entity with essentialist features. She looks at human difference in terms of the formation of particular subjectivities through particular loves. Ultimately, she depicts human love as interwoven with the infinite streams of divine love, forming a sacramental site for God's presence, and playing a constitutive role in the making of the self.

Recenzii

The Goodness of Home is an important work that makes a significant contribution to theological anthropology, the doctrine of creation and theological ethics.
By combining philosophy, theology, neuroscience, and anthropology, Marandiuc succeeds in presenting a nuanced Christian perspective on human attachments and the making of the self.
In this beautifully written and carefully crafted book, Natalia Marandiuc offers to the theological imagination a relational conception of home. To do so, she shows us a creative confluence between Søren Kierkegaard's writings on love and subjectivity and attachment theory's account of the innate human desire and need for secure, relational attachments. At this confluence, she raises theological questions about nature, grace, and being human. The result is a luminous constructive theological anthropology for our time. Theological anthropologies often describe the human person as fundamentally
