Abstract
The Anthropocentric Turn in Philosophical Theology: An Introduction to Theological Anthropology
This article presents an introduction to theological anthropology, a discipline that resulted from the anthropocentric turn took place in the intellectual field in the modern era. By this means, it is aimed at contributing to the Turkish literature lacking in comprehensive studies dealing with theological anthropology. First, the philosophical background of the discipline has been examined in the light of the views of Karl Barth, Karl Rahner, and Wolfhart Pannenberg, who emphasise the need and significance of an anthropological approach in modern theological studies. Then, the contemporary discussion topics and methodological issues of theological anthropology as an independent field have been analysed in the light of the current literature.
