Is humanity - the quality of being human a blessing or a curse? Do we simply put up with it, or do we embrace it? Many Christians consider their purpose in life to deny or escape their humanity. Is that valid? Is that Christian?

The humanity of Christians is tied up in the humanity of Christ. If Jesus Christ is human, then his humanity is something to be learned and lived. But many Christians do not believe in the humanity of Jesus and conse- quently find it hard to affirm and live out their own humanity. And that is why this book was written.
