Descrição
Resumo:Does Jesus save the Neanderthals? Do the Neanderthals need saving? Are they worth saving? And what about other non-human animals?

This article explores how theologians can begin to approach such questions by looking at four key areas where theological anthropology, evolutionary biology, and paleoanthropology intersect—1) human nature, 2) human uniqueness, 3) the imago Dei, and 4) the incarnation.
