ABSTRACT
This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in this book. The book compares the faiths of today's social science and of the Christian church. It finds that man looks one way in the one and a very different way in the other. The one faith portends an anthropology of self-interest that paradoxically denies freedom, denies want, and denies the good. The other faith portends an anthropology of Divine love that affirms freedom, affirms want, and affirms the good. The book argues for anthropology in God based on practical considerations of contemporary sexuality. It traces many of today's sad corruptions of sexuality to the secular metaphysic of science and found relief from these corruptions in the divine metaphysic of the Church. That book also argues for anthropology in God based on wider metaphysical considerations. It hopes to establish what that earlier book could only hint—namely, that an anthropology in God succeeds where an anthropology in science fails.
