Low Anthropology BONUS Episode

Freely Given

About this episode

We are excited to discuss David Zahl's book "Low Anthropology." Gretchen Ronnevik and Katie Koplin heard him speak last fall (you can watch his talk HERE.) 

Though it can feel sometimes like having a low anthropology is mean or making excuses for poor behavior. In fact, it's living out the reality of not only the reality of sin, but the limitedness of human nature. We are not god.

This book talks about low anthropology as being key to having a gracious view of others, and how it is in the humility and lowness where we encounter the grace of God. To have a high anthropology dismisses grace, or the need for it. Another consistent them is that low anthropology brings people together, whereas a high anthropology isolates and separates.
